Chromium in GlycoReset™
Chromium is the one mineral on the GlycoReset label, and the only ingredient with its own amount listed.

- Listed as chromium picolinate, 0.7 mcg (2% of the daily value)
- Found in foods such as broccoli, whole grains and meat
- Supports a healthy blood sugar routine*
What it is
Chromium is an essential trace mineral. Your body needs only a very small amount, and it takes part in how the body uses carbohydrates, fats and protein. Picolinate is a form of chromium that is bound to picolinic acid, which is why labels write "chromium picolinate".
Where it comes from
You get chromium from everyday food. Broccoli, grape juice, whole grain bread and cereals, potatoes, lean meat and some spices all supply small amounts. Supplements add chromium in forms such as picolinate.
Why it is in GlycoReset
GlycoReset lists chromium (as chromium picolinate) at 0.7 mcg per serving, which is 2% of the daily value, and then adds a 200 mg blend of 22 other ingredients.* It is the anchor of the formula for healthy blood sugar support. For the full story, read Chromium: The Trace Mineral Behind the Label.
