Chromium Picolinate 400ug 90 Caps

Chromium is an essential trace element, commonly used to help normalise blood sugar levels and manage appetite - especially appetite for carbohydrate or sweet foods.

Chromium plays a key role in the Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) - a process involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats to energy.

Nutra-Life’s Chromium Picolinate 400µg is a well absorbed form of chromium, and is especially beneficial when diets are high in refined carbohydrates (e.g. cakes, biscuits, fried foods, processed foods), as intake of these foods decrease chromium levels in the body.

Each Vege capsule contains:

• Supplementing with chromium may reduce requirement for insulin and oral drugs for diabetes. Consult with your healthcare professional, if you are taking these medications
• Separate chromium supplements and antacid medication by at least 2 hours. Antacid preparations may interfere with chromium absorption
• Corticosteroids may cause an increased requirement for chromium

Chromium and blood sugar balance

Imbalances in blood sugar levels are very common - have you ever had the mid-afternoon energy slump which disappears after eating something sweet? This ‘craving’ is due to lower than normal levels of glucose in the blood which causes us to crave carbohydrates or sugar. This craving can often be accompanied by fatigue, mood swings, reduced energy and concentration levels.
