Chromium

Chromium or Cr is an essential mineral and plays an important role vital for healthy blood sugar balance. Chromium performs in the metabolism process, where it converts nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into energy whilst balancing blood glucose levels. Poor regulation of blood sugar can lead to energy slumps, sugar cravings, difficulty maintaining healthy body weight, and poor cardiovascular health. Chromium is a commonly deficient mineral due to the high intake of refined and sugary foods in modern diets.
