Background
Chromium picolinate is only the beginning of nineties foreign scholars of feed additives, but as human beings and animals, chromium an essential trace element was the late fifties of last century to be confirmed, first detected in the body, as a glucose tolerance factor (GTF) activity of the composition, for decades, people have done a lot of its physiological studies have confirmed that the main physiological function of chromium is involved in animal sugar, fat and protein metabolism, enhance the effectiveness of insulin activity, increased immunity. Add a certain amount of food the organic chromium, can reduce blood levels of diabetes and insulin resistance, reduce cholesterol levels and body fat. In recent years, organic chromium has also been used as a potential alternative to antibiotics.
Mechanism:
Chromium picolinate can improve skeletal muscle cells with an active metabolic pathway of AMP protein kinase (AMPK) number, thus improving energy balance and insulin function. AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the control of blood glucose uptake and many other metabolic pathway is an important enzyme, and with the insulin resistance and type ¢ò diabetes.
Chromium is an essential mineral, it is carbohydrates, fat and protein metabolism in insulin activity in essential substance. August 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the production of chromium picolinate, and confirmed that it is safe for human insulin resistance and type ¢ò diabetes. The FDA to make the judgments based primarily on the early randomized, double-blind study and comfort therapy, chromium picolinate can significantly improve the high-risk diabetic patients with insulin sensitivity.
Indication:
Pharmaceutical preparations (chromium agents), pharmaceuticals, food additives, feed additives.
