Pure picolinate quality Made in Germany

It is an essential trace element and an important mineral that the human body needs for vital metabolic processes. Since we cannot produce it ourselves, our supply depends on our diet. Especially in sports or with one-sided eating habits, a high-quality supplement can be useful to compensate for deficits efficiently.

When selecting products for the Gigas shop, we pay meticulous attention to quality. Many standard products use inorganic compounds that the body can barely utilize. GN Laboratories, on the other hand, relies on an organic chromium compound: pure chromium picolinate.

Here the active ingredient is bound to picolinic acid. This structure significantly improves absorption in the body³. This way we make sure the mineral gets where it is needed. Another mark of quality is the origin: the chromium tablets are manufactured under strict controls, completely Made in Germany.

Influence on sugar metabolism and insulin action

Why is this product so important for athletes and health-conscious people? The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) officially confirms two central effects:

  • Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.
  • It contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.

In practice this means: a normal metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates depends on this element. Particularly relevant here is sugar metabolism. The micronutrient plays a role in how effectively insulin can work to transport glucose from the blood into the cells².

Optimized insulin action (sensitivity) helps keep blood sugar spikes more moderate after eating sugar or carbohydrates. A stable level is often the key to avoiding cravings and keeping your performance consistent in training.

200 mcg daily serving for your chromium needs

The right dosage is crucial, since the body needs amounts in the microgram range but must use them efficiently. Age can also play a role, as the ability to absorb minerals can decline over the years.

Our picolinate 200 mcg tablets are highly dosed and deliver maximum power per whole tablet. This daily serving is ideal for safely covering even an increased need.

Intake recommendation: We recommend taking it with a carbohydrate-rich meal (e.g. lunch). Thanks to the score line, the tablet can easily be split in half if you want to start with 100 mcg.

Information on ingredients and safety

Transparent information matters to us. A look at the ingredients shows: we do without unnecessary fillers or allergens. This dietary supplement is vegan and very well tolerated. As a water-soluble mineral, excess amounts are generally excreted¹, which makes use at the correct dosage very safe.

Frequently asked questions about High-Dose Chromium

What are chromium tablets good for?
They primarily support macronutrient metabolism and help to keep blood sugar levels normal. This makes chromium tablets particularly valuable for diets and phases of body definition.

What is the difference between chloride and picolinate?
The difference lies in the bioavailability. Chloride is inorganic and difficult to absorb. Picolinate is organically bound, which improves absorption and increases efficiency.

Is the product highly dosed?
Yes, with 200 mcg of pure active ingredient per whole tablet, this preparation is one of the strongest dosages in our range.

When should I take chromium?
Preferably with a main meal. As the intake affects blood sugar, the timing together with carbohydrates (e.g. after training or at lunch) is ideal.
