Chromium is a trace element that helps maintain normal blood sugar levels and healthy cholesterol levels. Chromium is a key constituent of the compound known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF). This mineral enhances the effectiveness of insulin, encouraging glucose to enter cells, where it can be burned for fuel.

Chromium is available in several forms: chromium picolinate, chromium polynicotinate, high-chromium yeast, as well as some other forms. There is substantial debate about the preferred delivery form. Research suggests that organic forms of chromium (such as chromium picolinate, chromium polynicotinate, and some other chelated forms) have better bio-availability.
