Chromium is an essential trace mineral that helps the body support healthy levels of lipids and supports glucose metabolism. Chromium is also important to support fat metabolism and carbohydrate utilization. The picolinate version of chromium is very bioavailable, and easily absorbed and used in the body.‡
Provides 500 mg GTF trivalent chromium picolinate with boron and gamma oryzanol for additional support of lean body mass.‡
