What are chromium and chromium picolinate?

Chromium is a trace element with the chemical symbol Cr. The body needs this mineral in very small amounts, and it has to be obtained from food or food supplements. It occurs naturally in foods such as wholegrain products, yeast, eggs and vegetables like broccoli, peas and tomatoes. In the body, chromium is found mainly in the kidneys, spleen, soft tissues, bones and blood, where it can bind to proteins. OstroVit uses chromium picolinate, an organic compound of chromium with picolinic acid. The nutrient reference value for chromium is 40 µg a day; one tablet contains five times that amount.

How to use?

Take one serving, i.e. 1 tablet, a day after a meal, conveniently with a glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, and if you also use other supplements containing chromium, such as multivitamins or mineral complexes, take their amount into account. One package lasts 200 days with the recommended use.
