Chromium is an essential mineral. While it may be found in a variety of foods, as many as 90% of American diets are low in chromium. Low chromium levels may result in an increase in blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol.
Chromium supports effective functioning of insulin. Insulin is needed for transporting glucose to cells for energy production. Diabetes results when the body cannot create enough insulin or has trouble using it effectively. Chromium has been shown in numerous studies to be beneficial in treating insulin resistance and diabetes.
Other studies show chromium to be effective in improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood glucose levels. Up to 80 million Americans may suffer from insulin resistance where the body fails to respond properly to the insulin it produces.
Chromium has also shown significant benefit in treating polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This condition affects up to 2 million women and can result in infertility. It is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
Chromium picolinate is one of the most popular forms of chromium available and is used in hundreds of different supplements. It is a combination of the element chromium and picolinic acid. The addition of picolinic acid aids in the ability of chromium to be absorbed.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) capsule daily with meals, or as directed by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct light.

All Vitabase brand products are manufactured within the USA. This is an important for quality because the FDA inspects our manufacturing facilities regularly. In other countries, governmental agencies may not necessarily exercise much control over manufacturing processes.
We source our ingredients from around the world. This is important because the best available ingredients are not necessarily made in the United States. For example, we get our liquid herbal extract ingredients from Europe because they are absolutely the best on the market.
