Description
YAMAMOTO CHROMIUM PICOLINATE is a food supplement that provides 200mcg of chromium picolinate.
Chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
Chromium is an essential mineral in concentrations of twenty parts of chromium per billion parts of blood. The body contains about 6 mg of this mineral, while the blood contains about 20 parts per billion. Chromium is essential in the nutrition of both animals and humans. This mineral recognized as having an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. Chromium stimulates the activity of the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of glucose, useful for energy and for the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Chromium increases the effectiveness of insulin and its ability to manipulate glucose. preventing hypoglycemia (too much insulin) or diabetes (too little insulin).
Some evidence suggests that chromium supplements may help people with diabetes lower blood sugar levels. People with diabetes either do not make enough insulin, or cannot properly use the insulin that their bodies make. As a result, glucose or sugar builds up in the bloodstream.
As many as 90% of American diets are low in chromium. But it’s rare to be truly deficient in chromium. People most likely to be deficient in chromium include:
- The elderly
- Those who do a lot of strenuous exercise
- Those who eat a lot of sugary foods
- Pregnant women
Low chromium levels can increase blood sugar, triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood), cholesterol levels, and increase the risk for a number of conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.
YAMAMOTO Chromium mainly use in the treatment of hypoglycemia, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and elevated triglycerides, in the promotion of weight loss and against acne.
