Optimized Chromium with Crominex® 3+ (500 mcg) – Life Extension

Summary
Optimized chromium with Crominex® 3+ from Life Extension is an advanced dietary supplement designed to support normal glucose metabolism, contribute to a healthy lipid profile and strengthen the body's natural energy production. The formula combines stable trivalent chromium (Crominex® 3+) with Capros® (standardized extract of Indian gooseberry) and PrimaVie® shilajit – an adaptogen rich in bioactive substances. This synergy makes the product unique, as it not only contributes to the regulation of blood sugar, but also promotes endothelial function, protects against oxidative stress and supports mitochondrial energy turnover.

Health benefits

• Normal glucose uptake and energy flow: Chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients and to maintaining normal blood sugar levels. This supports a steady supply of energy throughout the day.

• Endothelial function and vascular health: Capros® promotes elasticity in blood vessels and protects against oxidative stress, which contributes to normal circulation and cardiovascular health.

• Healthy lipid profile: The combination of chromium and Capros® can help maintain normal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.

• Adaptogenic support and vitality: Shilajit (PrimaVie®) is a natural adaptogen that promotes resilience to physical and mental stress, and supports mitochondrial ATP production.

• Antioxidant protection: Capros® adds broad-spectrum antioxidant activity that protects cells and tissues against free radicals.

Scientific background
Chromium is an essential trace mineral with a central role in insulin action and glucose uptake in the cells. Crominex® 3+ is a stable and safe form of trivalent chromium that has shown a beneficial effect on both blood sugar balance and lipid profile. Capros®, an extract of Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica), has shown documented effects on endothelial function, antioxidant defense and cardiovascular health. Shilajit is known to improve mitochondrial efficiency and increase the production of ATP, the body's primary energy molecule. The combination of these three provides a synergistic formula that supports both metabolic balance, heart health and vitality.
