Chromium

What Chromium Does to Your Body

Is it a metal or a magical mineral with amazing benefits for your body? Read on and all will become clear!

Are Chromium Supplements Beneficial?

Chromium is a mineral that isn’t produced within the body. The only way to get chromium is through your diet. We only need a very small amount, but this trace ingredient has some powerful effects on your physical and mental health.

How Chromium Helps Improve Chronic Health Conditions

It has shown promising results in the treatment of diabetes (1), as it helps to combat oxidative stress and can enhance the work of insulin, working to ease transportation of glucose around the body. S. Fazelian et al. found that chromium also had positive results for PCOS and that it helped lower the BMI of test patients (2).

Generally, chromium works alongside other chemicals to lower blood sugar levels, keep our brains healthy, and break down fats. It might be small, but it has a far-reaching role in our bodies.

How Chromium Helps the Skin

The benefits to the skin are related to Chromium’s ability to boost cell’s sensitivity to insulin. A diet high in sugar unbalances insulin levels, which can cause testosterone to skyrocket, which in turn leads to an overproduction of sebum. Keeping insulin working efficiently stops this happening, preventing the risk of acne.

Is Chromium a Metal?

There are two types of Chromium (3). The trivalent version is the one you’ll find in your foods and supplements. Then there is hexavalent Chromium. This is a chemical by-product of the stainless-steel manufacturing process and is toxic. You won’t come across this in any kitchen or health food store!

Where Chromium is Found

Chromium is readily available in lots of foods, including broccoli, whole wheat bread, garlic, apple, orange juice, and green beans. And, of course, you can always supplement if you don’t feel you are getting enough.

Mushroom Love

I have Menieres disease, turkey tail and lions mane apparently promote neuroplasticity which alleviates symptoms. I've been taking these for a couple of months and it does seem like the mushrooms are helping which is very encouraging and extremely good news….

Feeling more alert already!

First off, the ordering and delivery process was painless and efficient with tracking updates and no issues.
The product itself has already made a palpable difference in terms of my memory and a general sense of feeling more alert and “ready”. Can’t recommend highly enough.
I take with tea and the tincture doesn’t affect the taste whatsoever. Five stars!
