Chromium Picolinate

Product overview Thorne’s Chromium Picolinate delivers the essential mineral that plays a key role in healthy blood glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Refined flour, refined sugar, and processed foods are all significantly lower in chromium than their whole-food counterparts, making it one of the most commonly depleted minerals in the modern diet. Pregnancy, regular exercise, and metabolic stress increase chromium needs further. Chromium Picolinate delivers chromium in the picolinate form to help fill that gap. 500 mcg per capsule in a highly bioavailable fully chelated form Helps with healthy blood glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity Supports healthy carbohydrate breakdown to avoid glucose fluctuations Supports healthy weight management efforts and body composition Why choose the picolinate form When it comes to minerals, how well your body absorbs them matters just as much as how much you take. Chromium picolinate pairs chromium with picolinic acid, a naturally occurring compound your body produces to help bind and carry minerals. Picolinic acid is made from the amino acid tryptophan in the liver and kidneys, then transported to the pancreas. During digestion, it’s secreted into the small intestine where it binds to minerals - including chromium - and carries them across the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. In other words, it’s a delivery system your body already knows and recognises. By binding chromium to picolinic acid, Thorne ensures the chromium you take is in a form that the body can readily absorb and use. Why balanced blood sugar matters Blood glucose balance is fundamental to everyday energy, carbohydrate breakdown, body composition, and long-term metabolic health. Chromium plays a central part in how the body responds to insulin - the hormone that helps cells take up glucose from the bloodstream. It’s been widely researched for its role in supporting healthy insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism, and it’s a nutrient that the modern diet is particularly poor at supplying. Refined carbohydrates and sugars not only contain little chromium themselves, but the body uses more chromium to process them. Thorne Chromium Picolinate is a simple, daily way to support what your diet may be falling short on - in a form your body is built to absorb. Ingredients Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate) 500 mcg.
