Name: Chromium picolinate
Molecular Formula: Cr(C6H4NO2)3
Molecular Weight: 418.33
Chart:
Description:
The strains of small purple crystalline powder, slightly soluble in
water.
Background
Chromium picolinate is only the beginning of nineties foreign scholars
of feed additives, but as human beings and animals, chromium an
essential trace element was the late fifties of last century to be
confirmed, first detected in the body, as a glucose tolerance factor (GTF)
activity of the composition, for decades, people have done a lot of its
physiological studies have confirmed that the main physiological
function of chromium is involved in animal sugar, fat and protein
metabolism, enhance the effectiveness of insulin activity, increased
immunity. Add a certain amount of food the organic chromium, can reduce
blood levels of diabetes and insulin resistance, reduce cholesterol
levels and body fat. In recent years, organic chromium has also been
used as a potential alternative to antibiotics.
Mechanism:
Chromium picolinate can improve skeletal muscle cells with an active
metabolic pathway of AMP protein kinase (AMPK) number, thus improving
energy balance and insulin function. AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK)
is the control of blood glucose uptake and many other metabolic pathway
is an important enzyme, and with the insulin resistance and type Ⅱ
diabetes.
Chromium is an essential mineral, it is carbohydrates, fat and protein
metabolism in insulin activity in essential substance. August 2005, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the production of
chromium picolinate, and confirmed that it is safe for human insulin
resistance and type Ⅱ diabetes. The FDA to make the judgments based
primarily on the early randomized, double-blind study and comfort
therapy, chromium picolinate can significantly improve the high-risk
diabetic patients with insulin sensitivity.
Indication:
Pharmaceutical preparations (chromium agents), pharmaceuticals, food
additives, feed additives. |
