Chromium Supplement

Chromium is a very important trace mineral that can help stabilise blood sugar. Many people find it is helpful as a nutritional supplement in a natural weight loss programme, as it may reduce cravings. It is also beneficial for people suffering from hypoglycaemia.

Chromium is widely distributed in food, but most foods provide only small amounts (less than 2 micrograms per serving), so many people are short of this mineral. An American study showed that 90% of diets were at least slightly deficient in the important mineral chromium.

This supplement may help with a range of problems, including food cravings. Diets high in sugars can increase chromium excretion in the urine. One of the ironies of life is that many people who are short of chromium crave sugar that increases chromium excretion from the body.

Stress, infection, acute exercise, pregnancy and breast feeding increase chromium losses and can lead to deficiency, especially if chromium intakes are already low.
Vitamin C and niacin (Vitamin B3) help the absorption of chromium. We have those co-factors in these tablets to help you absorb this important mineral.

Chromium helps the body to use insulin, which is important in maintaining normal blood sugar levels. In people with insulin resistance (syndrome X) it may help prevent the onset of diabetes, by allowing the body to use insulin more effectively.

Because chromium has an effect on blood sugar levels it can also relieve headaches, irritability and mood swings caused by low blood sugar levels.

Some anti-candida diets also recommend chromium supplementation. It is also important for the break down of fat and protein in the body.

Because chromium helps to break down fats, it may also lower total blood cholesterol levels, reduce LDL(bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol.
