Chromium is an important mineral for enhancing the action of insulin, the metabolism of sugar (glucose), and maintaining a healthy blood sugar level. Although it is naturally present in food in trace amounts, most North Americans do not get enough chromium from their diet and are at risk of gradually developing a deficiency. Elevated cortisol levels caused by stress can also deplete the body’s chromium stores. Chromium deficiency can lead to increased blood sugar and insulin levels.
Chromium supplements have been shown to improve blood sugar balance in people with glucose intolerance, and may also reduce food cravings and improve appetite regulation. Chromium may also be useful in treating reactive hypoglycemia, a condition in which blood sugar levels drop below normal after eating.
Insufficient chromium intake has been linked to an increase in low-density (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as a decrease in high-density (good) cholesterol – factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Chromium picolinate is the form of chromium that is most easily absorbed by the body, which is why it is often used in clinical trials. Easily absorbed chromium picolinate from Natural Factors is an effective way to obtain your daily requirement of this important mineral.
