Technical Details & Test Data

Manufacturing Process

LC Ingredients Organic Plant Based Chromium - Manufacturing Process

Nutritional Chromium present in Parsley and Curry leaves are mobilized in to a hydrolyzed liquefact after slightly high temeperature reduction using bicarbonates that removes toxic valences of chromium. Extract blend of Curry leaves & Parsley with green solvents standardized for 0.5 % Natural Chromium. Natural Chromium is standardized as reduced and chelated Chromium in leaves. The wet leaves are hydrolyzed by papain along coconut milk for standardized nutritional chromium in traces along with co-nutrients of Parsley, Curry and Coconut. The liquefact is vacuum dried in to a standardized powder for 0.5% of biologically active chromium. Food Chromium is mostly attached to NADs, aminos and lipids.

  • Extraction solvent : Water based, coconut milk and papain
