Description

Until now, chromium picolinate was the preferred form of chromium to use because as a picolinate it had increased absorption from the gastrointestinal tract compared to chromium in other forms. It had approximately the same insulin potentiating effect as other chromiums but because of the increased uptake it performs better. Ultrachrome appears to have increased absorption but at the same time its insulin potentiating effect is 3x that of the other chromiums, including picolinate. We find it tests positive in more cases than picolinate does and we use it for the same type patients we would use other forms of chromium.
