-
- Role in the body: Chromium is a trace element that plays a key role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is particularly known for its effect on blood glucose regulation by improving the action of insulin, the hormone responsible for transporting sugar into cells. As a result, chromium helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels, which can have the effect of reducing cravings for sweets and aiding weight control.
Health benefits of Chromium Picolinate supplementation
✅ Glucose metabolism support: Chromium Picolinate is a popular supplement among people struggling with insulin resistance or blood sugar regulation problems. It helps to increase cellular sensitivity to insulin, which contributes to better glucose uptake by the body's cells. This can be beneficial for both people with type 2 diabetes and those who want to improve blood sugar control.
✅ Support in weight loss : Chromium can supportweight loss processes by regulating appetite and reducing cravings for sweets. Stabilising blood glucose levels prevents sugar spikes that can lead to excessive calorie intake. Chromium Picolinate therefore helps to improve weight management and can contribute to fat reduction, especially when combined with a suitable diet and physical activity.
✅ Support for heart health: Chromium supplementation can help lower total and LDL (so-called 'bad') cholesterol levels, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Adequate lipid control is crucial for cardiovascular health and chromium can support this process, especially for those with metabolic problems.
✅ Improved control of insulin resistance: In people with insulin resistance, chromium can improve the efficiency of insulin action, resulting in better blood glucose management and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
