Eniva Chromium (symbol “Cr”) is supplied as trivalent chromium. Most chromium in foods occurs in this trivalent form. Highly refined foods may have diminished chromium levels.*
Minerals for Life® CHROMIUM is a liquid dietary supplement of the mineral CHROMIUM in a proprietary advanced aqueous nutrient delivery system. The purer the water the more efficiently minerals are activated into their electrically charged ionic state. Eniva® uses OHM™ water (multi-step purified water) in a unique proprietary process at Eniva's government-inspected manufacturing facility, yielding a bio-available form of chromium ions (Solutomic®) in sparkling clear solution for quicker absorption than tablets or capsules which must first dissolve in the digestive system before being absorbed.
Chromium is essential to the metabolism of lipids, glucose, and insulin. Because of its role in these processes, chromium helps the body maintain healthy energy levels and normal mental alertness.*
