Swanson Chromax 1000 features Chromax(R) chromium picolinate, the most widely researched and scientifically established chromium available. For over a decade, the makers of Chromax have invested heavily in large-scale independent research projects to perfect and validate this patented dietary ingredient. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that 1,000 mcg of Chromax effectively helped reduce food intake in overweight women by as much as 365 calories per day in just eight weeks while reducing cravings and hunger between meals.¹ Chromax is also shown to be more bioavailable than other forms of chromium. Chromium picolinate can assist you as you navigate your weight management journey by helping curb cravings. Other steps toward success include staying hydrated , since adequate fluid intake helps manage your appetite and supports fat metabolism.
