How Does NSI® Chromium Picolinate Work? Chromium picolinate is a combination of chromium with picolinic acid, a natural chelator that promotes absorption of certain minerals. Chromium's main function is to help insulin transport glucose from the blood into cells, for energy. It also plays a part in the metabolization of protein, fats and carbohydrates.
While chromium is not normally well-absorbed by the body, but chromium picolinate is a highly bioavailable form that's pure, natural and provides 500 mcg of elemental chromium per serving.
NSI® Chromium Picolinate better because it:
It less expensive than other chromium picolinate supplements on the market.
Is more easily absorbed than other forms of chromium.
