Benefits* - Chromium is involved in the metabolism of glucose and is needed for energy. It is also vital in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and protein. This essential mineral maintains stable blood sugar levels through proper insulin utilization. Studies have shown that low plasma chromium levels can be an indication of coronary artery problems. The average American diet is chromium deficient. Researchers estimate that two out of every three Americans are hypoglycemic, pre-hypoglycemic, or diabetic. The ability to maintain normal blood sugar levels is jeopardized by the lack of chromium in our soil and water supply and a diet high in refined white sugar, flour, and junk foods. Chromium deficiency is a major factor in the development of heart conditions. Chromium may help the body lose weight by stimulating enzymes that metabolize glucose for energy. Ionic Chromium plays an important role in the liver synthesis of fatty acids (burns fat). When the body is deficient in chromium, twice the amount of time is needed for insulin to remove glucose from the blood.
