               Chromium helps the body regulate metabolism, insulin and blood sugar levels. Chromium helps the body lose weight by stimulating enzymes that metabolize glucose for energy. It plays an important role in the liver synthesis of fatty acids (burns fat). Chromium helps the body's metabolism after the food is in the blood stream. Chromium helps the pancreas and other organs keep all of this in balance. This is why chromium is so very important to our bodies.    

              When our body is deficient in chromium, it takes twice as long for insulin to remove glucose from the blood. This slows down the whole sugar glucose process causing the whole body to become more reactive to every other thing that is happening within it. Chromium enhances insulin performance and glucose utilization. It also helps to carry proteins in the body.    

              There are many things that deplete the body of chromium. Refined sugar causes the body to deplete the chromium levels within it. Also the refining of starches and carbohydrates robs the food of its chromium. As we get older our bodies are unable to store as much chromium as we could when we   
were younger.    
    
              Chromium is available in our foods naturally but has become so depleted in our soils that it is nearly impossible to receive enough usable chromium from just eating food. If we could get all the chromium we needed from our food would the onset of diabetes be so high? So we must look at getting the majority of our chromium from supplements.    

              Minerals have a natural attraction to be attached to something. This is why you cannot buy just chromium, or calcium etc. Mother Nature dictates this. So when you buy chromium you usually get chromium picolinate.    

              Picolinate is a protein. When it is attached to chromium the natural bond formed between the two becomes super tight. This is why only one in eight normal healthy adults has a digestive system healthy enough to cause this bond to be broken during the digestive process. If you are taking chromium picolinate you are probably getting very little chromium that is usable to your system.    
    
               Water-soluble chromium works the best. This chromium is already in the perfect state to enter the body (does not need to be digested). It is instantly absorbed into the blood stream through the upper stomach wall before reaching the lower part that does the digesting. When taken in water-soluble form, chromium is available in the body when it is needed.
