Chromium is a trace element present in the body in very small quantities – about 6 mg. Chromium Picolinate – it is its special compound chelate – a combination of chromium ions with picolinic acid. This substance has been designed for maximum bioavailability, safety of use and high efficiency.
The main action of chromium is stabilizing and strengthening the insulinn economy of the body. This alleviates the spikes in blood sugar level. It inhibits an appetite, particularly for products containing sugar (sweets). This can prevent diabetes! Chromium Picolinate is part of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF - Glucose Tolerance Factor).
Chromium also influences on the level of cholesterol in blood, lowering the level of LDL ("bad cholesterol") and increasing HDL ("good cholesterol"), and also lowers triglycerides. It acts anti-atherosclerosis and preferably for cardiovascular health.
Athletes who do strenght workouts can not find delicate anabolic properties, associated with the use of chromium. Chromium increases the storage of glucose in muscles, supporting glycogen synthesis – this means that more energy 'stays' in the muscles. Similarly acts (together with insulin) amino acids, which penetrate into cells. This effect also applies to molecules of creatine for example (chromium may be a "transport" for it).

Chromium (chemical element from transition group of the chromium, chemically active) is actively involved in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It comes in the easily assimilable organic form and inorganic. Along with insulin, as a component of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), is used in insulin-dependent diabetes treatment, insulin involved in the metabolism of glucose in t proteins transport. Activator of enzymes involved in the metabolism of fats and cholesterol. Available in animal origin products (liver, veal, chicken, turkey meat, oysters) and plant-origin (bananas, broccoli, cereal, wheat germ, spinach). Supplements containing chromium are recommended for fat loss (also thermogenic), and improving the functioning of the body. The sports supplementation used chromium in the form of mono-preparations or in the form of vitamin-mineral minerals supplements.
Chromium deficiency results in impaired glucose, reducing the insulin sensitivity. It causes a decrease in immunity and endurance of the body. It may be a cause of coronary heart disease. Sometimes it causes neurological disorders.
Dosage: A varied diet prevents from the deficiency of chromium in the body.
Dosage: The recommended dose of 50-150 mg per day.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae – yeasts from the group of monocellular fungi, commonly used by the researchers as test material, because of its small environment requirements. They are also popular in food industry.
The yeasts show health-promoting properties and are a good substitute for offal in vegetarian diet. They are a good source for vitamins, particularly B-vitamins. They have also positive influence on the condition of bacterial microflora, as they improve the functioning of intestinal barrier.
In dietary supplements and drugs, they are used mainly as a support for the functioning of the digestive system. They are also present in products improving the quality of skin, hair and nails, however the newest research suggests that the influence on these tissues results from the influence on the microbiota.
