Chromium picolinate, tiny purple crystalline powder, good liquidity, stable at room temperature, slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, in which chromium is trivalent chromium.
Chromium picolinate stability, as the fat-soluble non-electrolyte membrane can be passed direct role in tissue cells, enhance insulin activity, improve glucose metabolism in the body, the treatment of diabetes, there is an important role for diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance diabetes high-risk groups and healthy people. Chromium picolinate (CrPic) is added for type 2 diabetes or for a selected drug; Experimental evidence shows that, CrPic influential in the uptake of glucose by the role of p38 MAPK activation; Chromium is thought to enhance insulin function, leading to type 2 diabetes mellitus enhanced insulin sensitivity. chromium picolinate's role is to maintain the normal form of insulin to make it successfully through the capillary wall and combined with the insulin receptor, fully improve insulin sensitivity, effective control of blood glucose and blood lipid levels. Can pass the cell membrane acts directly on cells, can enhance insulin activity, improve the body's glucose metabolism.
