Throne's Chromium Picolinate is a mineral supplement in a form that's highly bio available for the human body. Especially in times of mineral depleted soils mineral deficiencies are common and individuals at higher risk like the elderly, children or anyone suffering from a chronic disease should consider taking a regular supplement.
Because the mineral content of fruits and vegetables depends on the soil health of the crop it is grown in, even a healthy individual who maintains a good diet can be at risk for a mineral deficiency because of mineral-depleted soil. By their very nature, minerals are not particularly well absorbed by the human body. In addition, various dietary, lifestyle, and health factors can have a negative impact on mineral absorption. One of the barriers to mineral absorption is overcoming the natural form the mineral comes in. Thorne's mineral ingredients are primarily in their chelated form the mineral is linked to an amino acid or an organic acid via a molecular reaction that provides a predictable, high quality, and hypoallergenic chelate. Thorne's mineral supplements are designed for optimal absorption.
