A guide to chromium supplements
Explore Healthylife’s range of chromium supplements designed to support your health. Chromium supplements may assist with nutrient absorption and help the body use glucose, carbohydrates, dietary fats and proteins for energy. We offer a range of easy-to-take chromium tablets and capsules.
What is chromium?
As a trace element (a micronutrient responsible for supporting a range of bodily functions), chromium naturally occurs in a range of foods, including meats, fruits, and vegetables, such as broccoli and nuts. Brewer’s yeast, wine, beer, spices and some grain products also contain chromium.
The levels of chromium in these products depend on the water and soil conditions they were grown or raised in, and the processes used to harvest and manufacture them. Some people’s absorption of chromium through food intake may be quite low. As such, it can be difficult to know just how much chromium an individual absorbs from the food they eat. Dairy products and foods that are high in sugar are also low in chromium.
What are the benefits of taking a chromium supplement?
Some studies suggest that chromium may increase insulin’s effectiveness. Taking a chromium supplement may help support the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins and may play a positive role in overall general health.
Studies suggest that chromium may also be anti-inflammatory when taken with magnesium. Taking chromium and magnesium may also have an effect on blood glucose and lipid levels, which could delay the onset of some health conditions.
What are the side effects of chromium?
It’s best to consult your healthcare professional to discuss the potential side effects of taking chromium supplements.
Can I take a chromium supplement for weight loss?
Chromium supplements may help some people manage their overall health. Studies have shown that when chromium and carnitine supplements are taken together, they may assist with glycemic control, lipid profiles and support your weight goals.
Chromium picolinate supplements may also be beneficial after exercise to reduce the effects of muscle fatigue.
