Terrific mineral supplementation for fitness and metabolic assistance
Patented mineral glycinate chelated form for optimum absorption
Includes ginger root, Piper longum and Piper nigrum to further promote absorption

Chromium is America's favorite mineral supplement for fitness and metabolic support. This patented amino acid chelate from Albion ensures optimum absorption for superior results. We also included a 45 mg blend of ginger root, Piper longum, and Piper nigrum -- a proprietary formula designed to promote absorption. For more information on Albion products, see www.albionminerals.com.

What Makes Chelated Mineral Glycinates So Superior? First we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the result of minerals becoming chemically bound to amino acids in a very specific manner. Chelation occurs naturally during the digestive process to facilitate transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so that they may be utilized throughout the body. Amino acids are not the only "chelators" available, but they are ideal for minerals. The body is very efficient at absorbing individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule for creating organic chelated minerals. Glycine is readily identified and absorbed across the intestinal wall, and Albion's glycinate chelates are actually small enough to transport right into the cells themselves!

Title:A valuable mineral supplement!

Date:February 15, 2010

"This mineral product is offered in a generous amount (180 caps) and in a very convenient size containing 200 mcg per capsule. It is very easy to take throughout the day and has become one of my favorite products in the Swanson catalog. The Albion process seems to offer the best quality available to the nutritionally informed consumer. I have come to rely upon this mineral as part of a comprehensive regimen suited for overall good health in today's complex world."

"I buy this albion-chelated form of chromium for easier body absorption. Everyone in our family takes chromium to help with insulin reduction and weight loss or maintenance and every time I try to cut back and cut this product out, I go right back to buying this product. My husband especially notices how tired he feels if he's not on this particular chromium.I like how tiny these pills are and how this comes packaged with 180 caps in the bottle with 200 mcg."
