Chromium picolinate is the combination of chromium, an important trace element for the human body, in picolinate form. Some potential benefits of chromium picolinate:
Blood sugar control: Chromium picolinate may help keep blood sugar levels under control by increasing the effectiveness of insulin. Therefore, it can be used in individuals with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.
Cholesterol regulation: Some research shows that chromium may lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol) levels and increase HDL (“good” cholesterol) levels.
