Search Results for "Chromium Polynicotinate"

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.

• Support healthy blood sugar
• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Assist with weight management
• Support healthy cholesterol and triglycerides

Chromium picolinate is a trace mineral bound to picolinic acid to enhance absorption. It’s most often used to nudge blood sugar control and metabolic markers, with research showing small but measurable effects—especially in people with type 2 diabetes who have poorer baseline control.

• Support healthy blood sugar
• Assist modest weight loss
• Support triglycerides and cholesterol

Inositol nicotinate is a ‘no‑flush’ niacin ester designed to break down slowly into nicotinic acid and inositol. It’s marketed for circulation and lipid support, but unlike standard or extended‑release niacin, it appears to deliver little bioavailable nicotinic acid—so its effects differ from niacin despite the name.

• Reduce Raynaud’s attacks (support peripheral circulation)
• Support circulation in peripheral arterial disease (intermittent claudication)
• Improve cholesterol levels
