Why choose chromium picolinate rather than other forms of chromium?

Chromium comes in several chemical forms: chromium chloride, chromium nicotinate, chromium picolinate and others. In supplements, picolinate is the form found most often — a compound of chromium with picolinic acid (a derivative of tryptophan). This form is considered to be better absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract than inorganic chromium salts, although the degree of absorption may vary from person to person.

OstroVit Kroom tabletid N200 is based on exactly this form. This means that the product follows a standard that has long been used in the sports nutrition and nutraceutical industry. For the buyer, this means in practice that the form is well studied, widely used and not experimental.

It is important to understand that chromium is a trace element whose daily requirement is measured in micrograms. The body does not store it in large amounts, so regular intake matters more than a single dose. A tablet supplement is convenient precisely because it easily fits into your daily intake of other vitamins and minerals without extra effort.

If you take other supplements or medicines, it is worth consulting a specialist before you start taking it.
