NOW Chromium Category
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that works with insulin to support healthy blood glucose levels and plays an important role in the proper utilization of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Chromium increases insulin sensitivity, leading to increased numbers of insulin receptors and greater binding of insulin to cells. Chromium helps insulin to metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. Chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for energy production by almost twenty times!
Taking supplements of chromium picolinate could help people with depression manage some of the symptoms, including mood swings, carbohydrate cravings, weight gain, and lethargy, suggests new research.
