Chromium is a trace mineral that helps potentiate insulin function, therefore helps support carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Several studies have shown that chromium helps support glucose levels already in the normal range, in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance. The mechanisms by which chromium works are not completely understood. We know from animal and human studies that when given a chromium deficient diet, we see abnormal glucose metabolism, increased blood glucose, and impaired insulin function. Chromium in the form of chromium picolinate is chromium bound to (chelated to) picolinic acid, a compound that seems to enhance the absorption of chromium which is typically poorly absorbed. Chromium picolinate has been shown to be better absorbed and more bioavailable than chromium chloride, but slightly less than chromium polynicotinate.†



Features
Chromium bound to (chelated to) picolinic acid.
Clinical studies on safety and efficacy.
200mcg per capsule.


Benefits
Studies show chromium picolinate is better absorbed than chromium chloride (non-chelated).†
Research studies show chromium picolinate helps support blood glucose and cholesterol levels already in the normal range.†
Beneficial to individuals who consume mostly refined foods and or have impaired glucose tolerance.†
Some studies, however, not strong, show chromium picolinate may help support lean body mass and reduce body fat.†

CoQ10 is an important component in the energy producing system of the body. It is found in mitochondria, subcellular structures responsible for generating about 95% of the total energy needed
by the human body. CoQ10 is the enzyme that makes this engine work. Its antioxidant activity protects cell membranes, proteins, and DNA from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
CoQ10 as ubiquinone is a fat soluble nutrient. In order for a fat soluble nutrient to be absorbed, fat must be present. Experts highly recommend that it be taken with other fat soluble nutrients (e.g., vitamin E, lecithin, borage oil, evening primrose oil, EPA, flax seed oil, etc.) and/or with a meal that contains a small amount of fat. Fat free meals significantly decrease absorption of ubiquinone.
