Chromium plays a great role in the absorption, transportation and metabolism of glucose, which is a necessary food item for cellular function. When a diabetic is doing poorly it may be due to lack of chromium in the diet. A deficiency of this mineral also affects the function of the immune system, which is the bodyguard against infectious diseases.
Do you have rheumatoid arthritis – you may benefit from taking at least 50 mcgs. (micrograms). Also, those who have atherosclerosis (fat collection in the arteries) may lack chromium in the diet. People with mental diseases may also lack chromium.
Whole wheat, nuts, grains, chicken, root vegetables and brewer’s yeast contain chromium. If you need to supplement try the Jarrow’s.
