Description

Chromium is an essential trace element that the body needs for several vital biological functions, the most well known being blood sugar management. This is based on its ability to unlock the "cell door" to the hormone insulin, allowing it to enter the cells. In addition to supporting the action of insulin, documented effects of chromium include reducing sugar cravings, facilitating weight loss and improving glucose metabolism. These benefits of chromium are attributed to its ability to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Since insulin resistance and high blood sugar appear to be risk factors for heart disease and metabolic syndrome, chromium supplementation may also help reduce the risk of developing these diseases. Chromium picolinate is most often used for weight loss, but it has several other benefits related to maintaining normal blood sugar levels.

AOR chromium is a specific form of chromium bound to picolinic acid and is recognized as the natural form found in all living things. Chromium picolinate is the optimal form of chromium supplement, as it can be directly used by the body. The AOR formula provides an effective dose of this important nutrient to maintain blood sugar control.
