Description
Chromium is an important trace element that works inside the cells and regulates the smooth functioning of insulin, for faster and more efficient metabolism of fat, carbohydrates and proteins.
Chromium enhances the action of insulin in the body and possibly promotes the entry of insulin into cells, facilitating its transport across cell membranes
The natural form of chromium is called GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor) chromium and is more easily absorbed by the body.
Research has shown that chromium can also be used as a supplement for weight loss, while it becomes necessary in endurance athletes or dynamic sports, since urinary chromium loss increases after exercise.
In type 2 diabetes, although the pancreas produces enough insulin, muscle cells and other tissues develop resistance to its action. Many studies have looked at the effect of chromium supplements in patients with type 2 diabetes, and have shown that chromium supplements actually improve blood sugar control.
