Chromium (as Chromium picolinate) Facts

Chromium is a trace mineral found in foods such as whole grains, broccoli, nuts, and meats. While not classified as essential, it has been studied for its role in supporting healthy blood sugar metabolism. Dietary intake of chromium varies between individuals but tends to decline with age.

Key Benefits of Chromium picolinate:

Contributes to macronutrient metabolism, helping the body process carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy.

Why it Matters:

Dietary chromium intake can range widely (23–54 mcg/day in U.S. adults), depending on food sources and processing. ¹
Form matters: Chromium picolinate, the form used in AG1, shows higher bioavailability compared with other forms like chromium chloride.
