KemTRACE® Chromium - the first product of its kind on the market - is a safe, proven trace mineral for use in swine, dairy, beef, broiler, and horse diets. This highly bioavailable, organic source of chromium helps improve glucose utilization for increased cellular energy and function. This results in better animal maintenance, reproduction, growth, and immunity. KemTRACE® Chromium has been fed to millions of animals around the world since its introduction in 2000. It is registered in more than 30 countries and is the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-reviewed form of chromium propionate.

Carbohydrates and fats supply the bulk of the energy to horses during exercise and use of each depends on the intensity of the exercise. During lower intensity exercise, approximately 42 percent of energy is supplied through the oxidation of fat, versus 58 percent from carbohydrates. During high intensity exercise, the ration can shift to 30 percent from fat and 60 percent from carbohydrates. Regardless of intensity, top performance requires both an adequate supply of and efficient use of carbohydrates.

Chromium has been shown to reduce body temperature and respiratory rate during heat stress. Evidence suggests insulin action is a key component of heat stress response. Chromium improves insulin function and results in efficient clearance of glucose to the bloodstream. Increased glucose uptake may improve thermal tolerance in heat-stressed animals.

Chromium is a trace mineral that helps improve glucose utilization for increased cellular energy and function. This results in better animal maintenance, growth, health, and performance. Chromium accomplishes this by optimizing insulin receptors on the cell allowing for increased glucose uptake. KemTRACE® Chromium supplies chromium to the diet in the form of chromium propionate.
