Chromium picolinate is one of those supplements with multiple roles. Since it has the ability to increase the sensitivity of insulin receptors, chromium can increase the absorption of creatine and other nutrients. Insulin has been called the bodys primary storage hormone, and while most people know that insulin controls blood sugar levels, it also increases the removal of such other nutrients as amino acids and creatine.
More amino acids means more protein synthesis, and hence bigger muscles. Increased creatine absorption leads to more energy and stamina, and greater intensity during workouts.
