DIABIL for normal blood glucose concentrations and food supplement. An effective combination of two active ingredients 125 µg of chromium picolinate and 250 mg of bitter melon extract Chromium picolinate is a salt of chromium and picolinic acid with a standardized amount of 12% chromium (trivalent). There are two other forms in which chromium is found (nicotinic and chloride salts), but it is known that the chromium picolinate form has the best absorption and the highest efficiency. According to the European Food Safety Agency, chromium picolinate can be used up to 250 µg per day. In Macedonia, the recommended maximum daily intake is 150 µg. Several studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of chromium intake on glucose tolerance and/or fat metabolism. Diabetic patients have altered chromium metabolism compared to non-diabetic patients, with higher chromium absorption but also increased chromium excretion. Depending on the stage of diabetes, diabetic patients tend to lose the ability to convert chromium into a usable form. Picolinic acid is an effective metal chelator synthesized in the human kidney. Picolinic acid is a natural metabolite of tryptophan, making chromium picolinate one of the most bioavailable sources of chromium. The plant Momordica charantia (bitter melon, Chinese bitter gourd, momordica or karela) is a creeper that grows and is cultivated in the tropics of South America, the Caribbean, East Africa and tropical areas of Asia. The fruit of the plant is used in food and medicine. Extracts containing biologically active chemical substances with a protein and steroid structure are made from the ripe fruits.
