Chromium polynicotinate is a unique, patented form of biologically active niacin-bound chromium called chromium nicotinate that dramatically increases the safety and effectiveness of chromium, an essential trace mineral required for normal insulin function.*

What is Chromium Polynicotinate?

Chromium polynicotinate(generically called chromium nicotinate or niacin-bound chromium) is a patented oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium complex that plays an important role in proper insulin function, maintenance of healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, normal energy production, and promotion of healthy body weight.* Protected by three U.S. Patents, four international patents and other world-wide patents pending, Chromium polynicotinate is the only niacin-bound chromium supplement with proven biological activity.

What does Chromium polynicotinate do?

Combined with exercise and a sensible diet, Chromium polynicotinate helps:

Maintain healthy body weight and promotes normal energy metabolism* Maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promotes cardiovascular health* Promote normal insulin function and maintains healthy blood sugar levels*

How does Chromium polynicotinate work?

Chromium is at the heart of a biologically active complex called Glucose Tolerance Factor or “GTF”, which is responsible for increasing the action of insulin in the body. Insulin is a vital hormone responsible for transporting glucose inside cells and maintaining proper blood sugar and blood lipid (cholesterol) levels in the body. Chromium helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact, chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly twenty-fold.

How much Chromium polynicotinate should I take?

The recommended adult daily dosage is 200-400 micrograms (elemental chromium as ChromeMate?) taken with a meal. For additional information on dosing, follow manufacturer’s recommended use printed on the label and/or talk to your healthcare professional.
