Chrom Activ is a dietary supplement which provided 200 µg of chromium ions in a single serving.

Chromium is an element crucial for many processes occurring in the human body system. It contributes to the maintenance of the proper metabolism of macronutrients and helps to maintain the proper level of glucose in the blood. Nowadays, chromium deficiencies are very common. The factors that promote its loss include improper diet, excessive physical effort, infections and injuries.

Chromium is an element which is absorbed mainly in the large intestine, where it is bound to a protein, transferrin. Transferrin receptor is placed on the cell membrane and it is activated by insulin action, which allows for chromium transport into the cell. In cytoplasm and the cell nucleus which are insulin sensitive, there is an inactive oligopeptyde called apochromodulin, which, after binding to 4 atoms of chromium, is activated to chromodulin. Such a complex binds with a beta-subunit of activated insulin receptor, which results in an activation of tyrosine kinase and improvement in the signal sent after insulin action. The result of such action is an increase in GLUT4 protein functions, which is responsible for the transport of glucose into the cell to resynthesize the muscle glycogen. Thanks to that the high blood sugar is reduced to the physiological level.

To sum up, Olimp Chrom Activ helps supplement the diet with chromium. It is recommended in particular to people who work on their dream figure and strive to reduce body fat.
