Application & Function

Chromium nicotinate is a new type of medical and food additive synthesized through biochemical techniques using nicotinic acid and biologically active organic trivalent chromium. Chromium nicotinate has the effects of lowering blood sugar and blood lipids (without any uncomfortable side effects). It can smoothly act on tissue cells through the cell membrane, enhance insulin activity, and improve human glucose metabolism. It has the effects of reducing blood lipids, improving glucose metabolism, enhancing physical endurance, promoting fat breakdown, and preventing alcoholic hepatitis.

1. Reduce blood lipids

Niacin in chromium nicotinate belongs to the vitamin B family and has the function of regulating blood lipids; Chromium is one of the essential trace elements that participates in the metabolism of sugars, fats, proteins, and other substances in the body. By influencing lipid synthesis and metabolism, it can reduce the serum total cholesterol level and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, thereby reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.

2. Improve sugar metabolism

Because chromium nicotinate can inhibit the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver, thereby reducing the production of glucose in the liver and increasing the utilization of glucose by peripheral tissues. It is suitable for diabetes patients to control blood sugar level. Enhance insulin sensitivity, enable insulin to function more effectively, and promote glucose uptake and utilization.

3. Enhance physical endurance

Due to its ability to increase insulin sensitivity and promote glucose entry into cells for oxidative metabolism, chromium helps to enhance muscle utilization of glucose and improve body energy reserves. Suitable for people who need long-term exercise, such as athletes or fitness enthusiasts. Chromium containing foods can be consumed through diet or supplements can be taken.

4. Promote fat breakdown

Nicotinic acid in chromium can promote fat mobilization and breakdown, while chromium is beneficial for maintaining normal glucose metabolism. For people who are trying to lose weight, they can consume it in moderation under the guidance of a doctor to achieve the goal of assisting in weight loss.

5. Prevention of alcoholic hepatitis

Because niacin in chromium has antioxidant properties, it can alleviate the liver damage caused by alcohol; Chromium also helps improve liver function. Suitable for long-term drinkers to prevent alcoholic hepatitis. It is recommended to regularly check liver function and consult a physician to adjust the dosage
