Study Findings:

• Growing evidence suggests that chromium supplementation, particularly in the form of chromium picolinate, may improve insulin sensitivity by potentiating the action of insulin to stimulate glucose transport into cells.
• The current evidence suggests that supplementation with chromium picolinate, can help combat insulin resistance and related conditions such as, obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
• These data add to the large body of evidence showing that chromium picolinate is safe, and specifically, that there are no effects on liver and kidney function, which is of particular importance to people with diabetes.
