Description
Chromium is an essential mineral that your body needs for some functions of your metabolism. It is used for its ability to improve the action of natural insulin. But chromium also plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism, fat metabolism, protein metabolism, and can have antioxidant effects. Chromium has been thought to have some benefit to people with metabolic syndrome because of its effect on insulin’s action. Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder that affects females of childbearing age and can affect fertility. The use of chromium in this condition has focused on improving lipid levels and blood sugar regulation. Some studies have linked dyslipidemia or high cholesterol levels to low levels of chromium. Chromium plays a role in insulin use and lipid metabolism, so some theories suggest that this mineral might help with weight loss and lean muscle building.
Chromium plays a major role in regulating metabolism, especially glucose metabolism, but it is typically lacking in the American diet. Additionally, strenuous exercise and a high intake of refined sugar can increase the body’s excretion of chromium.
