Thorne Chromium Picolinate

Long runs and hard interval sessions don't just burn calories, they also put your body's insulin signaling to work harder than a rest day ever would, and chromium is one of the main cofactors behind that whole system. Strenuous exercise increases how much of it you actually need, and if your diet leans on refined carbohydrates, chromium is also one of the first nutrients to run short to begin with.

Thorne's Chromium Picolinate is built to help support that, delivering 500mcg of chromium bound to picolinic acid for better absorption than standard chromium forms.

Supports how efficiently your body uses glucose – Chromium is a cofactor for insulin signaling, the pathway your body relies on to move glucose out of your bloodstream and into working muscle.

Increased demand from training – Strenuous exercise and metabolic stress both raise your chromium requirements beyond baseline dietary needs.

A well-absorbed chelate form – Picolinic acid acts as a natural mineral chelator, helping this form absorb better than standard chromium salts.

Chromium plays a supporting role in carbohydrate and fat metabolism by helping insulin do its job more efficiently, which affects how well your body moves glucose into cells for use as fuel. It's a trace mineral your body needs in very small amounts, but one that's easy to fall short on if refined carbohydrates make up a larger share of your diet, since processing strips much of the chromium out. Picolinic acid binds to the chromium ion in a way that improves how well it's absorbed compared to unbound chromium salts.
