Chromium is a trace mineral that we need to get from our diet in order to help the body release the energy from the food we eat. It does this by having an effect on how well insulin behaves in the body when we eat food rich in carbohydrates or something significantly sugary.
Trace elements such as chromium are just as crucial for our health and wellbeing as the trace elements, but are required in much smaller doses.
Meat, oats, whole grains such as brown bread and pasta, lentils, broccoli and potatoes are all abundant, natural sources of chromium.
