Chromium is a mineral that helps in the functional maintenance of blood sugar levels, insulin metabolization, and appetite control already within normal range. It can aid in the uptake of glucose into cells and therefore helps regulate insulin function. This is not only a vital component to help prevent the risk factors diabetes and heart disease, it can help act as a factor in promoting weight control and fat loss. By suppressing appetite, it can help increase the odds of keeping the weight off too.

Because dietary chromium activates the enzymatic processes for proper glucose metabolization, deficiencies can cut the efficiency of this process. This reduced rate of glucose conversion can cause unwanted fat storage, and blood sugar fluctuations that can cause numerous false food cravings which can affect almost any diet program.

Since chromium’s actions are facilitated by the ingestion of glucose, it is possible that excess dietary refined sugars can rapidly deplete supplies of this mineral. Physical activity also depletes chromium stores because physical energy expenditures require glucose metabolism.
