Refined flour, refined sugar, and processed foods are all significantly lower in chromium than their whole-food counterparts, making it one of the most commonly depleted minerals in the modern diet. Pregnancy, regular exercise, and metabolic stress increase chromium needs further. Chromium Picolinate delivers chromium in the picolinate form to help fill that gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p3\"\u003e500 mcg per capsule in a highly bioavailable fully chelated form \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p3\"\u003eHelps with healthy blood glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p3\"\u003eSupports healthy carbohydrate breakdown to avoid glucose fluctuations\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p3\"\u003eSupports healthy weight management efforts and body composition \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p3\"\u003eNSF Certified for Sport®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p3\"\u003eWhy choose the picolinate form\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to minerals, how well your body absorbs them matters just as much as how much you take. Chromium picolinate pairs chromium with picolinic acid, a naturally occurring compound your body produces to help bind and carry minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicolinic acid is made from the amino acid tryptophan in the liver and kidneys, then transported to the pancreas. During digestion, it’s secreted into the small intestine where it binds to minerals - including chromium - and carries them across the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. In other words, it’s a delivery system your body already knows and recognises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy binding chromium to picolinic acid, Thorne ensures the chromium you take is in a form that the body can readily absorb and use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p3\"\u003eWhy balanced blood sugar matters\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlood glucose balance is fundamental to everyday energy, carbohydrate breakdown, body composition, and long-term metabolic health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromium plays a central part in how the body responds to insulin - the hormone that helps cells take up glucose from the bloodstream. It’s been widely researched for its role in supporting healthy insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism, and it’s a nutrient that the modern diet is particularly poor at supplying. Refined carbohydrates and sugars not only contain little chromium themselves, but the body uses more chromium to process them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThorne Chromium Picolinate is a simple, daily way to support what your diet may be falling short on - in a form your body is built to absorb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChromium (as Chromium Picolinate) 500 mcg. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, leucine, silicon dioxide. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes not contain: \u003c\/strong\u003eGluten, Dairy, Soy, Artificial Colours or Flavours. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-top: 0px;\"\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"margin-top: 0px;\"\u003eRecommended intake\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake 1 capsule one to two times daily, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCautions\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eIf pregnant, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis product is contraindicated in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf taking medications that affect blood glucose, consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStore in a cool dry place. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo not use if safety seal is broken or missing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeep out of reach of children. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAlways read the label and use as directed.
