My patient’s multivitamin contains chromium chloride. Does he or she still need Chromax®?
Probably. Chromium chloride can be difficult for your body to absorb effectively, so your patient may not be getting the optimum level of chromium even with a multivitamin. Chromax® is a smart choice for you to recommend because the chromium picolinate found in Chromax® is an advanced, highly absorbable form of chromium the body needs to promote healthy blood sugar, fight food cravings and support cardiovascular health*. The body absorbs Chromax® seven times more efficiently than it does chromium chloride.
