WHY CHROMIUM PICOLINATE ?
Chromium Picolinate is an exceptionally bioactive source of the essential mineral chromium. Two decades ago, pioneering studies by Dr. Walter Mertz established that organic forms found in brewer’s yeast were far more nutritionally effective than the inorganic forms such as chromic chloride- commonly used in supplements. Above a certain minimal intake the body absorbs only 1/2 of 1% of a dose of chromic chloride. Dr. Gary Evans, while working as a nutritional scientist with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), discovered that picolinic acid, a natural amino acid metabolite, could bind tightly to trace minerals, expediting their absorption and nutritional efficacy. Evans proposed that mineral picolinates could serve as excellent nutritional supplements and the USDA PATENTED THIS PROPOSAL. Subsequent experimental and clinical studies proved the validity of Dr. Evans idea. Dr. Evans’ studies confirm what many health care practitioners have observed for years. Organic sources
