More information about chromium

Chromium is a trace mineral which is needed only in tiny amounts to help increase the body's sensitivity to the hormone insulin, for efficient utilisation of surplus glucose.
As a supplement, chromium may be effective in alleviating elevated blood sugar (hyperglycaemia), and in some diabetics, as well as in healthy, non-diabetic people. It may protect against non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
Chromium may protect against cardiovascular disease by helping to regulate fat and cholesterol synthesis in the liver and by raising HDL ('desirable' cholesterol) and by lowering LDL ('undesirable' cholesterol) in the blood. Chromium also seems to help reduce high blood pressure in some cases.
Chromium in food is poorly assimilated and only 1 to 5% of dietary chromium is absorbed.
Many people are chromium deficient, especially elderly persons, pregnant or lactating women, athletes, and healthy people who rely on processed food.
Chromium loss increases with injury, stress, ageing and strenuous exercise.
Consuming excessive sugar increases chromium losses from the body and lost chromium is slow to be replaced. Consequently chromium levels decline with age.
