About
Must-Have Minerals
The calcium contained in milk helps you maintain good bone health and may reduce your risk of osteoporosis later in life. A dose of iron can keep your energy level going strong. Both of these are nutrients that will help you stay healthy, but if you’re also interested in promoting healthy blood sugar, fighting carbohydrate cravings and supporting your overall cardiovascular health, add chromium to your daily regimen*
Healthy blood sugar levels help support your cardiovascular health and helps promote healthy blood sugar. Like calcium, chromium is an essential mineral that you only get from the foods you eat or the nutritional supplements you take and, just as calcium is essential for strong bones, chromium is essential to help your
body’s insulin work best. As reported in Newsweek ,
"Super Nutrients," January 16, 2006... “you should also consider boosting
your chromium.” So be sure to add Chromax to your "must-have" nutrient list.*
Chromium, Glucose and Your Health
Chromax chromium picolinate - the #1 brand of chromium - can help you meet (or even exceed!) your health goals. Your chromium intake has a direct impact on how your body handles blood glucose, its main source of energy. When your body uses glucose more effectively you:
- Feel in control of your health: Ease your mind by knowing that you're proactively doing something to promote better blood sugar health--and by virtue of that, better cardiovascular health.
- Feel more energetic: When your blood sugar is properly managed, you’ll feel an increase in your energy levels—perfect for getting through an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill or even an afternoon of keeping up with the kids.
- Feel better all around: Balanced chromium and blood glucose levels help promote overall good health. Don’t you deserve to feel fantastic?
A Chromium-Rich Menu
Ready to take more control of your blood sugar health with the help of chromium? Let’s talk about how much you’ll need, and the ways you can get it.
If you wanted to get 100% of the established Daily Value (120 micrograms) of chromium each day, here’s what your daily menu+ may look like — and you might want to bring some breath mints:
- Two cups raw onions (a total of 50 mcg)
- One cup of broccoli (22 mcg)
- One turkey leg (10 mcg) and
- Four glasses of grape juice (a total of 30 mcg)
+all measurements are approximate
All that, and the menu above is STILL eight micrograms short of the suggested Daily Value! Anybody ready for another slice of onion? Chromax has a better way.
Supplemental Chromium May Be the Answer
Research shows that adults need at least 200 micrograms (mcg) of chromium each day for optimal health benefits. Unfortunately, as we’ve shown above, it’s difficult to get that level of chromium from the foods that you eat.
So when you’re ready to add chromium to your diet, but aren’t ready to begin a love affair with onions, choose Chromax chromium picolinate. Chromax is a complex of the essential mineral chromium and picolinic acid, which combined help produce glycogen--a natural energy booster. Quite simply, it’s a great form of chromium for your body to absorb and use. Which Chromax is right for you? Take this easy self test . Click Here.
The Power of Picolinate
Chromax is chromium picoliante. The ‘picolinate’ in Chromax refers to picolinic acid, a natural substance that’s already in your body and is even present in human breast milk! Chromium picolinate has been deemed safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration, and the form used in seven studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). By adding three picolinate molecules to chromium, your body can more easily absorb the chromium into your cells, delivering chromium in a way that far surpasses other forms.
The Key is Bio-Availability
You may have heard of some vitamin and mineral supplements that simply ‘pass through your body.’ Those supplements are NOT bio-available—the form they’re in is difficult for your body to absorb and use, and many of their benefits are lost because the body naturally expels the supplements before they’ve been fully utilized.
On the other hand, the chromium picolinate in Chromax is HIGHLY bio-available, making it a very effective form of chromium. Chromium picolinate is quickly absorbed, meaning that your body gets the maximum benefit from the supplement.
How Much Chromium Have You Had Today?
If you’re like most people, you probably have no idea—but we’d be willing to bet it wasn’t 120 micrograms, the amount established as the recommended Daily Value. But don’t feel bad…you’re not alone. In fact, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates that most Americans get a mere 25-35 mcg of chromium from the foods they eat each day. And research now shows that to maximize the full benefits of chromium, you need at least 200 micrograms EACH DAY.
Chromium is essential for everyone, but especially those of us in our 40s, 50s and beyond. Why? Because as we age, our chromium levels decline and our blood sugar health may suffer—causing things like fatigue, and other conditions—conditions that can have an impact not only on how we feel, but also how we feel about ourselves.
Supplementing your diet with Chromax is a great way to meet your chromium needs—just one Chromax capsule a day provides you with 200mcg, 400mcg or 500mcg of chomium.
