Hope this answers ur question - :-) hen x
Chromium enhances insulin's effect on blood sugar levels, increasing the supply of glucose to the body's cells.
Studies have shown that Chromium increases insulin sensitivity and binding. Also, in the presence of Chromium the number of insulin receptors increases. Modern food processing strips our foods of Chromium and the manufacturing processes involved in producing white flour and other grains remove more than 90% of the naturally-occurring chromium. Continuing deficiency in our diets may be linked to the high incidence of adult-onset diabetes.
BENEFITS -
• Diets high in sugar increase chromium losses in the urine.
• Can help balance blood sugar and stops cravings.
• Can help to maintain balanced energy levels.
• May help with weight reduction.

Recently when I was doing some research, I found that Chromium was being praised for qualities of increasing the body's metabolism, which in turn helps in the fight for attaining normal weight ranges. There may have been other uses, but that was the main one that I can recall.

I'm not sure why this question is in "woman's health" but any way.
Chromium is a hard, silver white metal. It is mainly used in the production of steel to make the final alloy harder or stainless. Its other big use is to plate other metals to give a bright, rust free surface (car headlight frames and bumpers etc.) It is also one of the trace elements required by the body to remain healthy.

Vincent is silly. I believe chromium is in a lot of weight loss drug or maybe it is a weight loss supplement. I have seen the ingredient on a lot of the bottle of my weight loss meds.
