Chromax® Chromium Picolinate is a highly bioavailable form of chromium supported by 35 human clinical studies affirming its benefits for weight management, body composition, appetite control, cognitive health, glucose metabolism, insulin function, energy support, and more. The superiority of Nutrition21’s Chromax over other forms of chromium can be seen in its stable chemical structure and superior absorption profile. These differences account for safety and effectiveness in formulations targeting health-and-wellness issues that matter most today.
Chromax Chromium Picolinate doesn’t just have moderately better absorption than other forms of chromium— it is absorbed up to 15x better, providing optimal bioavailability and effectiveness to users.
As Chromax is absorbed into the bloodstream, its unique structure promotes optimal insulin function. The effect Chromax has over insulin leads to healthier blood sugar levels, more efficient carbohydrate metabolism, reduced caloric intake and improved muscle maintenance during weight loss.
