Chromium Picolinate is a specific form of chromium with bidendate chelate with picolinic acid, the form of chromium naturally used by the body. Chromium is an essential trace mineral needed by the body for several vital biological functions, the most well-known being its role in blood sugar management. This is based on its ability to unlock the “cell door” to the hormone insulin, allowing it to enter the cells.
