Chromium – The Blood Sugar Stabilizing MineralChromium is an important trace element mineral that is required for the
normal metabolism of glucose and the synthesis of proteins. It is present in
the entire body, but the largest concentrations are found in the spleen,
liver, kidney and bone. Chromium’s main functions are providing energy by
stabilizing blood sugar levels, increasing the amount of glycogen stored,
and controlling the insulin hormone and several related enzymes. A lack of
chromium interferes with the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels. Food Sources |
