Chromium is a trace element you get through your diet. Think of broccoli, whole grains, and nuts. Yet, many people don't get enough. This LUTO Supplements supplement provides 200 µg of chromium per tablet, bound to picolinic acid. This is a form that your body absorbs more easily than simple chromium salts. One jar contains 100 tablets, enough to last more than three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat chromium does in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromium helps maintain normal blood sugar levels. That might sound technical, but here's how it works: when you eat, your blood sugar rises. Your body then produces insulin to transport this sugar to your cells. Chromium plays a role in this process. It enhances how your cells respond to insulin. Furthermore, chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients. These are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. In short: the trace element helps your body process nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy picolinate and not just chromium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't realize: pure chromium is barely absorbed by your gut. The absorption of inorganic forms of chromium is particularly low. This is where chromium picolinate comes in. In this form, chromium is bound to picolinic acid, a substance your body also produces itself as a byproduct of tryptophan metabolism. This binding means the trace element passes through your gastrointestinal tract more stably and is more available for absorption. The difference is therefore not in how much chromium is in the tablet, but in how much actually reaches your bloodstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 200 micrograms of chromium per tablet means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label states 500% of the reference intake. This sounds like a lot, but for trace elements, the picture is different than for vitamins. The reference intake for chromium is set at 40 µg per day. In clinical research, dosages between 200 and 1000 µg are often used. With 200 µg per tablet, this LUTO product is at the lower end of these research dosages. This is a deliberate choice: enough to make a difference, without unnecessarily high dosing. The tablets are also small and easy to swallow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA clean and no-frills composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list is short. Besides chromium picolinate, you'll find microcrystalline cellulose as a filler, magnesium stearate, HPMC, and silicon dioxide. No colorants, no lactose, no gluten, and no animal-derived ingredients. The tablets are vegan and GMO-free. Production takes place in Europe according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and HACCP standards. These are quality systems that provide guarantees on purity and consistency per batch. By the way, for a single-ingredient product like this, such a short ingredient list is exactly what you want. Nothing superfluous that doesn't belong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 100 tablets per jar and one tablet per day, this LUTO Supplements chromium supplement lasts you for more than three months. A simple product with a well-thought-out form choice and a dosage that matches what is common in research. Nothing more, nothing less.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390691746020,"sku":"8720865080871","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/chroompicoliaat.jpg?v=1783929144","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/luto-picolinate-de-chrome","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
