Chromax Reviews

By Weight Loss Consultant • Related • Filed Under

Chromax is a patented ingredient.  It’s the patented form of chromium, and it’s said to promote greater weight loss by improving blood sugar levels and otherwise benefits in general.  Chromax has been used in various different ingredients, and it’s a form essentially speaking of what’s recognized to be the strongest form of chromium, chromium picolinate.

So what is chromium picolinate and how does it work?  The clinical studies on the original form are weak.  When combined with gymnema sylvestre and garcinia cambogia, chromium picolinate actually only requires about 200mcg, chromium can actually promote rather substantial weight loss. Of course, in case you are wondering, a microgram is a mere fraction of 1 milligram.  Even 200mcg does not even account for 1mg.  So it wouldn’t be that hard to get.  This being said, there are still companies out there who do not use it.

On the other hand, there is chromium picolinate when used alone.  It has been shown to control blood sugar levels for some individuals.  It has undergone multiple studies on its own and combined with other ingredients.  The studies with certain other ingredients have certainly been effective.  However, the studies on chromium picolinate alone are questionable.

In one study on chromium picolinate, it showed that there was a significant difference between chromium weight loss and weight loss without chromium.  However, this select study was conducted on athletes only.  This being said, all other studies on chromium picolinate on its own have failed to show significant weight loss beyond those of diet and exercise and the placebo group. So obviously, this product doesn’t actually work the way they would advertise to say the least.

But with Chromax, you obviously get something different.  The results with chromium alone are obviously very small.  However, when you use the patented form, Chromax, they have taken the active component that can even produce those small results, and Chromax can therefore multiply the possible benefits of chromium alone, making it applicable for the general population, while also of course making it even stronger in combination with other ingredients.

What really impresses us is that some companies have gone a little overboard in amounts.  You don’t need as much generally speaking with a patented ingredient.  However, while the studies show that chromium alone requires about 200mcg, we’ve seen companies use as much as 500mcg of Chromax.  The problem is that these companies often rely on chromium or Chromax alone rather than combining it with the best ingredients in general.

We would definitely recommend checking out products that have Chromax in them.  It’s a supplement that will provide some degree of benefits.  However, we would not recommend using it alone and depending on Chromax alone as its benefits will not be nearly as substantial alone.
