Chromium is at the heart of a biologically active complex which is responsible for increasing the action of insulin in the body. Insulin is a vital hormone responsible for transporting glucose inside cells and maintaining proper blood sugar and blood lipid (cholesterol) levels in the body. Chromium helps insulin metabolize (burn) fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact, chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly twenty-fold.
Chromium helps the body to do the following:
A lack of chromium can result in type II diabetes, obesity and heart disease.
Studies show that there is a significant age-related decrease in chromium levels, which may play a part in the increased risk of diabetes and arteriosclerosis in older people. Poorly absorbed, only 2-10 percent of dietary chromium intake is absorbed by the body.
When Chromium is taken in pill form much of the active elements are actually destroyed by the body's digestive process. However, when Chromium is delivered through an injection the active elements are absorbed by the blood stream and are directly utilized by malnutritioned tissue.
Correcting mineral deficiencies can go a long way toward helping the frustrated dieter control his or her impulses to eat something sweet, something fatty, or something devoid of nutrition in an attempt to satisfy an inner compulsion.
