Many Reasons to Love Chromium with High Active Beet Root

We'll continue to offer a few more technical details on what makes Chromium with High Active Beet so special. 

BioImmersion's Chromium is a potent form of trivalent chromium presented in a food-derived organic carrier of Niacin.

In general, each capsule provides 500 micrograms of trivalent chromium polynicotinate (50mcg of elemental chromium) and 250 mg of High Active red beet root with a potent 10,000ppm plant nitrate, which the body converts to nitric oxides (McDonagh et al., 2018).

Furthermore, Chromium offers many health benefits, and is in fact, an essential nutrient our body needs.

• Superior activity to other forms of Chromium: it is safe, stable, and water-soluble.
• Glucose metabolism: Chromium with High Active Beet Root improves insulin efficiency by decreasing insulin resistance, increase glucose uptake in the absence of insulin, lowers glycosolated hemoglobin levels, reduce both fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia (Abdollahi et al., 2013; Abraham et al., 1992; Aghdassi et al., 2010; Anderson, 1998; Balk et al., 2007; Cefalu & Hu, 2004; 2013; Maret, 2019).
• Cardiovascular health: Chromium with High Active Beet Root improve metabolic syndrome, moderate hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, prevent lipid peroxidation, and support insulin sensitivity (Balk et al., 2007; Boyd, 2013; Hobbs et al., 2013; 2012; Jajja et al., 2014; Orhan et al., 2019; Panchal et al., 2017),
• Antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory activity (Nifali (2017).  
• Weight management, Energy, and Stamina: Chromium with High Active Beet Root stimulates muscle growth, improves sports performance, aids in loss of body fat while helping maintain lean muscle mass, increase energy production and ability to exercise longer (Beals et al., 2017; Nifali, 2017; Crawford et al., 1999; Onakpoya et al., 2013.
• Beetroot protects against toxicity in liver, and initiates phase II enzyme detox (Krajka-Kuźniak et al., 2013; 2012; Lee et al., 2005)
• Beet also contain betalains, which research shows reduce isoprostanes by 30% in humans. Betalains neutralize highly oxidative hypochlorous acid generated in bloodstream, betalains are bioavailable and 3-4 times more potent antioxidants than Vitamin C, betalains induce phase 2 proteins (P2P function as internal defense system again toxins and free radicals).
