Chromium picolinate, also known as chromium picolinate and chromium methylpyridine. Chromium picolinate,
as an organic trivalent chromium, is of great significance to the biological activity of glucose tolerance factor
(GTF), and is widely used in food, livestock and poultry production as a nutritional additive. Studies have found
that chromium picolinate can reduce blood glucose and blood lipid levels and alleviate the symptoms of glucose
and lipid metabolism disorders. In human nutrition and health care products, chromium picolinate has become
the second largest nutritional supplement after calcium supplement. In livestock and poultry production, chromium
picolinate supplementation can promote the growth of pigs, improve the lean meat rate of pigs, improve the
immunity of livestock and poultry, enhance the anti stress ability of the body, and improve the fecundity of
female animals.
