Synergy
What is happening. Vitamin C Liposomal enhances chromium absorption by reducing Cr3+ in the gut, making it more bioavailable.
Mechanism. Ascorbic acid reduces chromium in the intestinal lumen, increasing the proportion in the more absorbable Cr3+ state and enhancing passive diffusion across the intestinal epithelium.
Recommendation. Take chromium with vitamin C for improved absorption. 200mcg chromium + 500mg vitamin C.
