- Product Overview
- Chromium was identified 40 years ago to be an essential mineral for laboratory animals. Chromium has been deemed an essential nutrient based on experimentally induced deficiencies in laboratory animals and clinically observed changes in the health of humans. The most commonly observed symptoms of chromium deficiency in humans include impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and elevations in serum insulin.
- Chromium (Cr) is a trace element that is most commonly encountered in the +3 and +6 oxidation states. Hexavalent Cr is a strong oxidizing agent and is used in numerous industrial processes, most notably in the manufacture of stainless steels. Trivalent Cr is the most stable oxidation state and is the form most likely to persist and have metabolic activity in the biological systems. It is speculated that inorganic forms of Cr are poorly absorbed and only organic trivalent forms of Cr seem to have repeatable biological effects.
