CHROMIUM
Chromium is a mineral that our bodies require in trace amounts to function optimally. Taking supplemental chromium provides benefits for general health and for those who train intensely. One of chromium’s primary benefits is its ability to regulate insulin release, helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Over time this helps promote insulin sensitivity, meaning your body responds well to its insulin release. Those who are less healthy encounter insulin resistance, which leads to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and multiple other health problems. For training athletes, chromium supplementation helps insulin optimize muscle glycogen levels and decrease body fat storage. For best results take up to 200 mcg per day split over 2 or 3 smaller doses.
