Chromium is a trace mineral your body uses to help insulin do its job. Think of it as a small helper that can nudge blood sugar control and, in some cases, slightly influence weight and cholesterol numbers. Effects are generally modest and matter most when blood sugar regulation is already an issue.

• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Assist with weight management

Chloride is the body’s primary extracellular negative ion—the partner to sodium and potassium that helps water move where it’s needed. Think of it as part of the plumbing for your cells: it powers rehydration during illness or heavy sweating and helps produce stomach acid for digestion.

• Rehydrate effectively during diarrhea or heavy sweating
• Maintain electrolyte balance during illness or endurance exercise
• Support normal stomach acid production
