What it is
Chromium is a mineral that the body needs only in tiny amounts. It plays a part in how the body works with carbohydrates, fats and protein. In chromium picolinate, the mineral is joined with picolinic acid, a compound the body forms from the amino acid tryptophan.
Where it comes from
Small amounts of chromium turn up in whole grains, broccoli, meat and grape juice. Makers produce chromium picolinate in a lab, which lets every capsule hold the same amount.
Why it is in Thermo Burn Pro
On the Thermo Burn Pro panel, chromium picolinate gets its own line, ahead of the plant blend.* Serving size and amounts appear on the Supplement Facts panel on your Thermo Burn Pro bottle. The Mineral and the Leaf looks at it more closely.
