NSI Chromium Picolinate -- 500 mcg - 300 Capsules

NSI Chromium Picolinate -- 500 mcg - 300 Capsules

Promotes balanced blood sugar levels, naturally. How Does NSI® Chromium Picolinate Work? Chromium is important in processing carbohydrates and fats because it helps cells respond properly to insulin. It's main function is to help insulin transport glucose from the blood into cells, for energy. It also plays a part in the metabolization of protein, fats and carbohydrates. The picolinate form of chromium is the easiest form for the body to absorb. Chromium Picolinate may increase fat loss, promote weight loss and help increase lean muscle tissue. Chromium occurs naturally in a variety of foods but as many as 90% of Americans consume diets low in chromium.  . Chromium picolinate is a combination of chromium with picolinic acid, a natural chelator that promotes absorption of certain minerals. While chromium is not normally well-absorbed by the body, but chromium picolinate is a highly bioavailable form that's pure, natural and provides 500 mcg of elemental chromium per serving. NSI® Chromium Picolinate better because it:. It less expensive than other chromium picolinate supplements on the market. Is more easily absorbed than other forms of chromium.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"If you have ever taken chromium, you know that they are uncoated, round and nasty. These supplements however, are capsules, VERY small (we have the 500 Mg dose). My husband takes SEVERAL supplements a day and the chromium no longer gets stuck in his throat!"

"I understand that Chromium is useful in weight loss and I think this is a good product. I'm not sure yet if it's going to be highly effective for me. I have not seen dramatic changes in my weight, but also my weight has stabilized and is no longer drifting upward. That in itself is valuable, of course. My wife, on the other hand, has also been using the product, along with lifestyle changes, and has lost significant amounts of weight. Go figure - it's certainly worth a try at the price at which it's offered."

"I was skeptical, purchased this item thinking why not? I have spent my whole life craving and bingeing on carbs. I started taking this without thinking and a few days later noticed the cravings were gone. I had to think about why and I pinpointed this supplement as the only thing different. I had a small set back during the time change, but I'm optimistic that I can finally feel normal around sugar again!"

"This product has been amazing at controlling my sugar cravings. I've been taking it for about 2 months now and no longer crave sweets like it's my job!
The 500mcg amount seems to work better for me than 200mcg. This brand is an excellent value."
