Sucrosomial® Chromium

ULTRACHROME® is a formulation of Sucrosomial® Chromium, developed by Pharmanutra Ingredients to promote optimised absorption and high tolerability. It is a functional ingredient based on chromium picolinate, designed to ensure an adequate intake of an essential micronutrient involved in key metabolic processes.

The ULTRACHROME® formulation

ULTRACHROME® is a formulation of Sucrosomial® Chromium obtained by combining chromium picolinate (with a content of 9% elemental chromium) and a matrix of phospholipids and sucrose esters of fatty acids.
Thanks to the application of the Sucrosomial® Technology, chromium is able to pass through the gastric environment without interacting with the gastric mucosa, and is released in the small intestine, where absorption and subsequent transport into the bloodstream take place. This delivery method overcomes the absorption limitations typical of traditional forms of chromium.

The physiological role of chromium

Chromium is a trace element that, although present in the human body in very small amounts, plays a significant role in several physiological processes. It is involved in the metabolism of macronutrients – carbohydrates, proteins and fats – contributing to their conversion into energy. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, a central factor in the proper functioning of cells.

An adequate intake of chromium therefore supports metabolic processes, as recognised by EFSA-approved health claims.

EFSA health claims
