2. what is chromium?
Chromium is an essential trace element. Chromium can improve insulin function and metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. In addition to blood sugar regulation, chromium is essential for the regulation of blood lipid levels. Chromium increases HDL cholesterol and lowers LDL cholesterol. Chromium also fulfills its function in muscle building, because chromium promotes the build-up of proteins and helps in the absorption of protein building blocks.
3. chromium controls the effect of insulin
Chromium is an important component of the protein chromodulin, which controls the action of insulin. It regulates the response of body cells to insulin and glucose utilization. Glucose from the blood is shuttled into the cells, which burn the sugar for energy. A deficiency of chromium can lead to an increase in circulating insulin levels and insulin resistance. For this reason, a daily supply of chromium is very useful. In this regard, supplementation of chromium can be very useful.
4. chromium in the form of dietary supplements
If you want to increase a too low chromium level with a dietary supplement, you should definitely pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Chromium capsules are particularly suitable for increasing chromium levels. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. Likewise, the preparation should not contain any chemical additives such as microcrystalline cellulose. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product has also been produced safely and is of high quality.
