The appearance of Chromium Picolinate is purple-red crystalline fine powder, with good fluidity, stable chemical properties at room temperature, slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, and the chromium in it is trivalent chromium. The entire molecular structure is electrically neutral and has hydrophobic properties, so it can be absorbed across the membrane with a complete structure, and the molecular structure is similar to that of GTF. In 1977, Toepfer believed that GTF was the biologically active Chemicalbook form of chromium, and its structure was a complex of niacin-chromium-nicotinic acid with aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, and cysteine. The GTF-like structure of chromium picolinate determines its better absorption rate and can exert its biological function more effectively. According to reports, the absorption rate of common chromium preparations is about 0.5%, while the absorption rate of chromium picolinate reaches 2%-5% (Anderson, 1996).
Picolinic acid is the metabolite of Amino Acid exited in the liver and kidneys of humans and mammals and combined with Cr3+ to form chromium picolinate. The chromium picolinate can be well absorbed by the human body and increase the amount of active AMP protein kinase (AMPK) involved in metabolic pathways in skeletal muscle cells, thereby improving balance of energy and insulin.
In China, the Regulations and Review of Nutrient Supplements issued in 2005， chromium picolinate is used as a source of chromium nutrient supplement compounds. It is safe to use in the field of health foods. Overseas, EU No238/97 has listed chromium picolinate as a new food ingredient.

Function
1. Chromium picolinate is a health medicine for type 2 diabetes, which can enhance the function of insulin, is very sensitive to insulin, and helps to lower blood sugar of patients with diabetes.
2. Chromium picolinate can be used to decomposite high calories, which can effectively help to reduce sugar.
3. Chromium picolinate can also strengthen the body's immunity and improve body's function and resist the attack of germs.
4. Chromium picolinate can increase the amount of protein kinase (AMPK), thereby improving energy balance and insulin function.
