Chromium Picolinate is the form of chromium that is best absorbed by the human body.
Chromium Picolinate is also used for energy production because it is involved in the metabolism of glucose, which is why this mineral is commonly referred to as "glucose tolerance factor" (GTF). It has a strong influence on fat metabolism and the increase of muscle mass.
