Nutrition 21 uses patented technology, pharmaceutical research and strategic marketing and distribution partnerships to build its position in therapeutic markets.

| Technology / Differentiation |
| Poor insulin function and glucose control are strong bio-markers for diabetes. Chromium is a trace mineral essential for healthy insulin function and blood sugar levels. Twelve published clinical studies involving over 1500 subjects demonstrate that supplemental use of Chromax chromium picolinate, at 200 to 1000 mcg has demonstrated an ability to improve glycemic control in people with or at risk for diabetes. |
