Chromium

Chromium stimulates cells to uptake glucose, from which our body derives energy. carbohydrates are thus used as an energy source and not stored in the form of fats. A constant craving for sweets is a sign of chromium deficiency. Chromium picolinate is part of chromodulin, which promotes the action of insulin, helps lower triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in the blood. Chromium reduces calcium loss and contributes to the health and maintenance of bones during menopause.
