Chromium picolinate
It is an important compound, chromium is an important component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF),
chromium trivalent chromium in chromium picolinate can increase the activity of insulin, participate in protein synthesis and nucleic acid, fat metabolism,
reduce the body fat content. Chromium picolinate increases the amount of an active AMP protein kinase (AMPK) associated with metabolic pathways in skeletal muscle cells,
thereby improving energy balance and insulin function.

At present, studies by domestic and foreign nutrition societies and institutions show that long-term intake of chromium ≥1000μg/day is easy to cause poisoning.
China formulated the Chinese residents dietary chromium reference intake (adults) AI=50μg/day, UL=500μg/day,
in the 'Nutrient supplement declaration and review Regulations', the minimum amount of chromium is 15μg/day,
the maximum amount is 150μg/day, the maximum allowable consumption of health food is 250μg/day.
Function and Application:
1. Lowering blood sugar:
As an important part of glucose tolerance factor, it can enhance insulin activity and improve human glucose metabolism. It is suitable for diabetic people,
people with abnormal glucose tolerance, people at high risk of diabetes and healthy people, and help control blood sugar level.
2. Fat suppression weight loss:
By increasing metabolic capacity, improving energy balance and insulin function, helping to break down high-calorie foods, reducing fat accumulation,
helping to lose weight and increase muscle mass.
3. Boost immunity:
It can enhance the activity of skeletal muscle cells, accelerate the body's absorption and metabolism of nutrients, thereby enhancing the body's immune function
and improving the resistance to disease.
4. Feed additives
Increase the yield of meat, eggs, milk and young and the survival rate of young.
Promote the rapid growth of hypoglycemic and lipid-suppressing livestock and poultry, and improve the return rate of feed.
Regulate the endocrine, enhance the breeding performance of livestock and poultry.
Improve the carcass quality of livestock and poultry and increase the lean meat percentage.
Reduce the stress of livestock and poultry, enhance the anti-stress ability of livestock and poultry.
Improve the immune function of livestock and poultry, reduce the risk of livestock and poultry breeding.
