Chromium with High Active Beet Root

Every so often I go on a journey through our products, read the latest research on the different ingredients, and go through the rich history of each of these powerful products. Then I choose to highlight one that is relevant for what we are facing today, and at times, point toward a supplement I have not spoken much about.

Today it is all about Chromium. 

Not just Chromium - a trivalent chromium with niacin on each of the ligands. And to that we add High Active Beet Root. Again, not just beet root, but high active which means it offers 10,000ppm plant nitrate which the body converts to nitric oxides (McDonagh et al., 2018). 

Beets in general promote nitric oxide bioavailability and our beet is very high in nitrates, relaxing blood vessel muscles and open up the circulation. We also know that beets enhance phase II liver enzyme (for detox). 

Chromium with high active beet is used as pre-diabetes support, cardiovascular health, metabolic health, and weight loss, and much more. I love going through the research tab to re-read the articles and be amazed at this potent nutrient. 

Chromium

Yours as always,
