Chromium picolinate is very beneficial for human health. Chromium picolinate is a combination of chromium and picolinic acid (chromium picolinate). Chromium plays a main role in the sugar metabolism. Chromium insufficiency in the body increases the need of sweet foods. But, the more sugar person consumes the more depleted chromium reserves become. Even a slight deficiency of chromium can lead to serious consequences. In older people and nursing mothers chromium deficiency can cause hypoglycemia, heart disease, weight gain. Pregnancy and breast-feeding reduce the chromium level in the woman’s body. According to the scientists, pregnant women typically receive only 50-60% of the minimum required amount of chromium.

The ability to assimilate inorganic chromium compounds and convert them into active forms is substantially reduced with age. Thus, sportsmen, elderly people, pregnant and breastfeeding women are in the risk group of chromium deficiency.
