Chromium

Chromium is a trace element which is essential in the metabolism of sugar.
Along with niacin and some amino acids, it forms a complex knwon as Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF).
It is also vital in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and protein.

As chromium is lost by intense farming and modern processing methods, studies show that the standard western diet is deficient in this trace element. As well as being typically high in sugar, white flour and highly refined foods, blood sugar management is jeoprodised and so it is critical that enough of this mineral is obtained.

Chromium is best absorbed in the form Chromium picolinate, which has shown promising results in both insulin utilisation and blood cholesterol control.
