Sucrosomial® Chromium

Overview

UltraChrome® is a Sucrosomial® Chromium formulation containing chromium picolinate (9% chromium). This structure provides improved absorption and greater bioavailability for optimal chromium intake.

Chromium is a trace mineral in the human body; the recommended daily intake for adult males is 25 µg. It plays a role in converting carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.

Applications

Sucrosomial® Chromium is suitable for a very wide range of products and applications.

Key features

Sucrosomial® Technology is an innovative delivery system that increases the absorption and tolerability of micro- and macroelements. It allows active ingredients to pass through the gastric and intestinal environment without interacting with the mucosa or other nutrients; absorption takes place at the enteric level and the substance passes directly into the bloodstream.

Improved absorption: Better absorbed by the body than traditional forms.

Excellent tolerability: Minimizes the side effects commonly associated with mineral supplements.

Reduced interaction: Lowers the interaction between minerals and other active ingredients.

Neutral taste: Provides a neutral taste that enhances consumer compliance.

EFSA-approved health claims relating to chromium intake: Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Mechanism of action

Sucrosomial® Technology encloses chromium in a matrix of phospholipids and sucrose esters.

This structure allows the mineral to pass through the gastric and intestinal environment without interacting with the mucosa or other nutrients. Absorption takes place at the enteric level and the mineral enters the bloodstream directly.

As a result, higher absorption is achieved compared to traditional forms, the side effects common with mineral supplements are reduced and interaction with other active ingredients is lowered.
