12% Chromium
Nanjing Gemsen
CAS 14639-25-9
Introduction:
Product Name | Chromium Picolinate 12% |
Synonyms | Chelated Chromium |
Appearance | Fuchsia powder |
Purity | 10% Chromium |
Sample | Available |
Chromium Picolinate, an organic form of trivalent chromium chelated with picolinic acid, is absorbed more efficiently than inorganic chromium salts, with reduced gastrointestinal irritation. This chelated complex avoids mineral competition in the intestine—such as with zinc or iron—and utilizes the body’s natural transport pathways to enter the bloodstream rapidly.
As an essential trace mineral, chromium plays a central role in metabolic regulation. This form enhances insulin sensitivity by supporting insulin receptor activity, facilitating glucose uptake into cells and helping maintain balanced blood sugar levels. Chromium Picolinate also contributes to lipid metabolism by assisting in the regulation of cholesterol levels, and may help reduce cravings for refined carbohydrates.
Additionally, it supports macronutrient metabolism and has been studied for its potential role in weight management and cardiovascular wellness when used as part of a balanced diet.

Function and Application:
1. Chromium Picolinate provides high bioavailability and supports glucose regulation, insulin function, and lipid metabolism. It is commonly used in dietary supplements to maintain healthy chromium levels—particularly in individuals with poor dietary intake or increased metabolic needs—and to promote metabolic balance.
2. This chelated form aids in maintaining healthy blood glucose and insulin activity, which supports sustained energy levels and metabolic efficiency. Its enhanced absorption allows even low doses to help address suboptimal chromium status effectively.
3. Chromium Picolinate is generally well-tolerated, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive digestion. It assists in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, helping protect metabolically active tissues such as the liver and muscles from stress related to metabolic dysfunction.
4. It is primarily used in dietary supplements and functional foods—including capsules, tablets, fortified cereals, and nutrition bars—to help meet daily chromium requirements. These applications support healthy glucose utilization, energy production, and overall metabolic resilience.
