What it is
Chromium is an essential trace mineral, which means you need only a tiny amount. It takes part in how the body handles carbohydrates, fats and protein. On supplement labels it often appears bound to another molecule, and picolinate is one of the most common partners.
Where it comes from
Everyday foods carry small amounts: broccoli, potatoes, whole grain bread, lean meat, spices and grape juice. A supplement adds chromium in a measured, consistent form.
Why it is in Glycotide
Glycotide includes chromium picolinate as the mineral anchor of the formula.* It sits beside the plant extracts, and the Supplement Facts panel lists the amount. Chromium Picolinate in Plain Words goes deeper.
