Nutrition 21 is a nutrition bioscience company using pharmaceutical quality research to substantiate the health benefits of nutritional supplements. It holds 24 patents for chromium compounds and their uses and 11 other nutrition patents. The Company's proprietary technologies focus on chromium picolinate and its relationship to insulin resistance, a condition implicated in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and depression. The Company's nutritional advancements revolve around Chromax® chromium picolinate, Nutrition 21's form of highly bioavailable chromium.
For many years, Nutrition 21's chromium picolinate, originally developed by the USDA and now patented for nutritional uses by the Company, has been widely sold to the supplement industry as a key ingredient in weight loss and sport nutrition products.
Nutrition 21 is now pioneering an effort to bring pharmaceutical quality research to the marketing and development of nutritional products to address conditions associated with insulin resistance. Zeramax is one of the products to emerge from that effort.
The company not only uses pharmaceutical research standards to establish the safety and efficacy of the products it markets, but also maintains that commitment through a rigorous quality assurance program. Good science is the Nutrition 21 hallmark that distinguishes the Company as a pioneer and a leader in the nutrition industry.
