What is Chromax?Updated 14 hours ago

What Is Chromax® (Chromium Picolinate)?

Chromax®, featured in Orgain’s Organic Plant Protein + Metabolism Blend, is a patented form of chromium picolinate—a clinically studied mineral supplement developed by Nutrition21. Chromium is a trace mineral that supports healthy metabolism by helping your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Chromax® is specially formulated for superior absorption, making it more effective than many other common forms of chromium.

Key Benefits of Chromium Picolinate 

Chromium picolinate—the active ingredient in Chromax®—has been widely researched for its potential health benefits. Here’s what studies suggest it may help with:

     ✅ Supports healthy metabolism of carbs, fats, and proteins

     ✅ Helps maintain normal blood sugar levels

     ✅ May reduce cravings and support appetite control

     ✅ Promotes satiety, helping you feel fuller longer

     ✅ Supports mood and cognitive health

     ✅ May aid in healthy body composition when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise

How to Use Chromium Picolinate 

Chromium picolinate is typically taken in doses ranging from 200 mcg to 1000 mcg per day. Always follow the instructions on your specific product label or consult with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

We recommend one serving daily of Orgain Organic Plant Protein + Metabolism Blend, as part of a nutrient-rich, whole-food diet. 

Best Practices: 

Incorporate into a balanced diet and exercise routine. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
