Chromium Supplements - Minerals

Chromium

Chromium is an essential mineral that plays a part in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Chromium also stimulates production of fatty acids and cholesterol and plays a part in insulin metabolism. Chromium supplements are widely used for the maintenance of blood sugar health. Benefits of chromium might also include weight loss assistance. While chromium can be found in a variety of foods, such as brewer's yeast, liver, eggs, bananas and spinach, chromium vitamins may be a better way to obtain the chromium mineral's therapeutic effects. Chromium can be taken in the 200 to 400 mcg range to maintain blood sugar health, and in the 500 to 1,000 mcg range for healthy adults with elevated blood sugar.
