Chromium Picolinate

Chromium picolinate is a mineral supplement that combines the essential trace element chromium with picolinic acid to enhance absorption. Chromium plays a vital role in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism, helping the body transport glucose from the blood into cells for energy. It has been extensively studied for its potential to improve blood sugar control, reduce cravings, and support healthy weight management in both healthy individuals and those with insulin resistance.

Why We Use it

We chose chromium picolinate for Optimolin because of its strong human clinical evidence in supporting blood sugar regulation and appetite control. Among chromium forms, the picolinate version is known for superior bioavailability, making it the most effective choice for improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose fluctuations.
