Chromium

Nutritional chromium is supplied in the trivalent Cr(III) form, which differs from toxic industrial chromium compounds. It has been studied for its relationship with normal insulin signalling.

• Scientific identity: Chromium; oxidation state: Trivalent Cr(III) only.
• How it works: Supplied as trivalent chromium: Only this form occurs in food and is used nutritionally - it is chemically distinct from hexavalent chromium, the industrial contaminant. Absorbed poorly: Uptake from the gut is low, in the region of a few %, which is typical for the element.
• Primary function: It contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and is included in measured amounts within balanced formulations.
• What it supports: Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism as part of a balanced approach to how the body processes everyday food.
• Important consideration: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound.

CARPEDIEM selected Chromium for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and is included in measured amounts within balanced formulations.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiMen.
• Works alongside: Chromium complements Zinc, Inositol and L-Carnitine to support balanced daily mineral nutrition.
• Meaningful contribution: Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism as part of a balanced approach to how the body processes everyday food. Supports balanced daily nutrient intake through a carefully measured trace-mineral amount.
• Quality and scientific context: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
