Description
Chromium Picolinate by Amix™ Nutrition is a capsule supplement that provides 200 mcg of chromium in its chelated form (chromium picolinate) much more effective than conventional chromium.
Chromium is a mineral found in a variety of foods such as beef, beef liver, eggs, brewer's yeast, apples, etc.. In adequate amounts, this mineral stimulates the metabolism of glucose, helping insulin to regulate the level of sugar in the blood, but the problem we have is that the chromium ingested through the diet is insufficient and is not absorbed correctly. After several studies, it was found that chromium combined with a chelating agent (a component that allows the mineral to penetrate into the cell) greatly improved its bioavailability. Therefore in its chelated form (chromium picolinate), it is much more effective

Additional Information
Chromium picolinate improves insulin sensitivity ostensibly, helping the transport of glucose into muscle cells. Chromium picolinate is a supplement that is recommended during times of dieting, as it helps maintain muscle mass while losing fat tissue and can help control sugar cravings. It also improves the metabolism of macronutrients such as proteins and carbohydrates.
Chromium picolinate has a positive influence on some conditions such as appetite suppression, diabetes or high cholesterol levels.
Regulates blood glucose.
One of the most important benefits of chromium is to stabilize the amount of sugar in the blood. To do this, there is a small molecule called chromodulin, an oligopeptide (union of amino acids: aspartate, cysteine, glutamate and glycine) whose function is to enhance the signaling of insulin receptors located in muscle cells. Insulin is a hormone secreted after a meal, which acts in the presence of glucose in the blood.
Thus, the result will be a better uptake of glucose by muscle tissue and lowering in such a case the high level of insulin, as well as ensuring less accumulation as fat, diverting glucose into the fat cell.
A beneficial effect derived from this glycemic control, is that it can improve the stability of serotonin, impacting on a better mood and mitigate depressive symptoms
Improves insulin sensitivity.
Chromium plays a key role in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates in the body to produce energy and has been studied for its effect on the prevention of diabetes. With a condition known as insulin resistance, diabetics are unable to use insulin properly. The beneficial actions of chromium picolinate are related to the fact that it can improve the signaling action of insulin and reduce the amount of sugars circulating in the bloodstream.
Within the body, the pancreas releases insulin when blood glucose levels rise. Insulin delivers these glucose molecules to the body's cells to provide them with energy. But the constant demands of insulin to the organ of the pancreas motivated by the action, generally, of meals high in carbohydrates, can suppose in the long term a worsening of the functionality of this organ and the related system, leading to a possible type II diabetes: the tissues will present resistance to the action of insulin in addition to the pancreas generating much less quantity, obtaining a state of blood hyperglycemia.
Appetite suppressant.
Ensuring that blood sugar levels remain stable is an important part of weight loss, as too much insulin in the body often triggers a cycle of weight gain. This is one reason why this supplement is so popular with athletes and bodybuilders or people who are working hard to maintain a scheduled fat loss cycle or definition phase.
