Chromium Polynicotinate
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that has been shown to promote cardiovascular health, sensitize insulin response and act as an anti-oxidant (102-105,108). Not all forms of chromium are equally effective. According to a recent study, chromium polynicotinate not only improves insulin sensitivity, but also helps maintain healthy systolic blood pressure already within normal range, and reduces oxidative stress (109). Chromium also plays a role in food intake regulation (110). Along with regular exercise, 400-600 mcg of chromium polynicotinate has been shown to support healthy weight control in women (104,111).
