Chromium is an essential trace element, involved in carbohydrate metabolism and the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels. Chromium may help to manage appetite demand, especially where this is influenced by carbohydrate foods.
Chromium plays a key role in the Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) - a process involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates.

Benefits
• Chromium and blood sugar balance
imbalances in blood sugar levels are very common - have you ever had the mid-afternoon energy slump which disappears after eating something sweet? This 'craving' is due to lower than normal levels of glucose in the blood which causes us to crave carbohydrates or sugar. This craving can often be accompanied by fatigue, mood swings, reduced energy and concentration levels.
• The Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF)
Chromium plays a key role in the GTF. The GTF works with insulin to facilitate the uptake of glucose into the cells. Without chromium, blood sugar levels stay elevated because the action of insulin is blocked and glucose is unable to be transported to the cells.
Eating a diet high in wholegrains, vegetables and fibre will also help to stabilise blood sugar levels.
