Why should I take... CHROMIUM

-

This essential trace mineral plays a role in how the body regulates levels of glucose in the blood.

Most of us get enough from our diet – good sources include wholegrain­s, meat, lentils and broccoli. Some studies have shown that the supplement may lower fasting blood sugar, reduce insulin levels and help insulin work in people with type 2 diabetes, although more research is needed. Other studies have provided mixed evidence that it may be helpful in lowering cholestero­l levels.
