HOW TO USE
What is the Moro orange?
The Moro orange refers to a food, grown in Italy, that has a high content of flavonoids, including anthocyanins, compounds that give it an intense and striking red color.
These anthocyanins are responsible for several actions in the body. This is because, according to several international studies, anthocyanins have a powerful antioxidant effect.
Furthermore, anthocyanins have been investigated in the expression of adipocytokine genes, insulin sensitivity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity and fatty acid oxidation. It is worth mentioning that these studies are still under development and should be evaluated according to each particularity.
What is chromium picolinate and what is it used for?
Chromium picolinate is a dietary supplement composed of picolinic acid, a derivative of tryptophan, which occurs naturally in the body, and chromium, a trace mineral found in small quantities in the human body. The combination of the two helps to improve bioavailability.
Chromium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the body, acting and assisting in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
And how does this happen? Well, chromium acts on the body, especially through its action in the capture and transportation of substances and molecules that participate in the metabolism of these macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats). In addition, it helps transform these nutrients into a more suitable format for the body to use.
The literature also highlights that chromium appears to participate in insulin metabolism and glucose tolerance.
