Tri-Chromium, NOW Foods: A Unique Combination for Blood Sugar Control and Metabolic Support

Tri-Chromium, 500 mcg, from NOW Foods, is an innovative dietary supplement designed to support sugar and fat metabolism in the body. This product combines three different forms of chromium - Chromium Picolinate, Chromium Chelavite® (chelated chromium amino acid), and ChromeMate® (chromium polynicotinate) - at a dose of 500 mcg, which represents 1429% of the recommended daily value. Additionally, the supplement is enriched with 250 mg of cinnamon (bark) from various Cinnamomum species, known for their beneficial properties for health.

Chromium is an essential element for normal body function. It is primarily known for its role in carbohydrate and fat metabolism and its impact on blood insulin levels. Chromium contributes to maintaining blood sugar within normal limits, making it a valuable aid for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes.

 

The three forms of chromium in Tri-Chromium are selected for their bioavailability and maximum efficiency:

1. Chromium Picolinate - a well-absorbed form of chromium that helps regulate blood sugar.
2. Chromium Chelavite® - a chelated form of chromium with amino acids for optimal absorption and utilization in the body.
3. ChromeMate® - a form of chromium polynicotinate that supports healthy cholesterol and lipid levels.

Cinnamon, added to this supplement, has a synergistic effect with chromium. It not only provides a pleasant taste but is also recognized for its antioxidant properties and its ability to support sugar and fat metabolism. Cinnamon can also contribute to reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity.
