Description

Dark violet crystal

Chromium picolinate has a chemical formula CrPic3 and reddish-pink color. It is a coordination complex consisting of chromium(III) and picolinic acid. Chromium picolinate is used as a nutritional supplement for optimal insulin function in patients with Type 2 diabetes or promotion of weight loss. Chromium ions are shown to regulate insulin by promoting glucose utilization and increasing the sensitivity of the insulin receptor.|Chromium Picolinate is chromium Piccolinate is a salt of the trace metallic element chromium (Cr), essential in glucose metabolism. Found in vitamins and mineral supplements, Chromium may be necessary for utilization of dietary sugars and carbohydrates by optimizing the effects of insulin. Animal studies suggest that chromium picolinate may be carcinogenic, it enters cells directly and can causes mutations. (NCI04)

Chromium(III) picolinate Use and Manufacturing

Used as medicines and health products, food additives, chromium picolinate (CrPic) is a supplement or alternative medicine for type 2 diabetes. Experimental evidence indicates that CrPic can uptake glucose by activating P38MAPK. Chromium is believed to enhance the action of insulin, thereby increasing insulin sensitivity to patients with type 2 diabetes.
