Chromium, a major role in the body

Chromium allows a good regulation of the sugar level in the blood. It supports the action of insulin in the assimilation of sugar in cells. Clearly, this trace element avoids the problems of hyperglycemia, which are characterized by an excessive presence of sugar in the blood. It can also help limit weight gain by stimulating the use of sugar by cells and regulating the feeling of hunger. No more nibbling !

Studies have also shown that it can regulate cholesterol levels, increasing the level of good cholesterol and lowering the level of bad cholesterol. It is therefore important for good cardiovascular health.

Chromium is present in many foods. The ones that contain the most are certain meat (veal liver or poultry), some green vegetables (broccoli, green beans, asparagus, mushrooms ...), but also potatoes , whole grains such as oatmeal, plums, egg yolk, walnuts, brewer's yeast, gruyere, thyme, black pepper ...

A balanced and varied diet generally helps to meet daily needs. In case of deficiency, it can be taken as a dietary supplement.
