THE RIGHT KIND OF CHROMIUM,
GOOD DEAL ON THE RIGHT FORM OF CHROMIUM AND IN CAPSULE!!
WHAT IT IS:
Chromium is a trace mineral that has been shown to be helpful for [in descending order]; Diabetes, High cholesterol, Hypoglycemia, High triglycerides, Insulin resistance syndrome (Syndrome X), Athletic performance, Depression, Weight loss.
WHY THIS CHROMIUM?
This product is the right form of Chromium [Picolinate] and in capsule form so it is optimally absorbed. The price is excellent, about the same as Wal-Mart, but Walmart's brand is in tablet form. The "SWANSON" brand is one my favorite because of their consistently superb quality control, the efficacy of their products, and SWANSON is one of the few vendor manufacturers that carries such a wide variety of their many products and at competitive prices. The expiration dates are have been excellent, [leaving 2-3 years] which indicates the product still has a long potential shelf life and has not been sitting in a wearhouse for too long.
If you have any type of digestive system disorder the "PICOLINATE" form is the only way to go because it does not require your pancreas to secrete anything in order for the chromium to be absorbed.
OTHER BRANDS?
I have also used the "NOW" and "NATURE'S WAY" brands with equally good results, but I will usually pick "Nature's Way" when given a competitive choice. Swanson though usually comes in somewhat less expensive and in the right form and in capsules.
