Chromium
Chromium is a trace mineral which is needed by the body to regulate insulin. It therefore, effects blood sugar levels. Symptoms of a Chromium deficiency are: Craving milk, alcohol or sweets. These cravings and even the taste of these foods diminish when the deficiency is satisfied. Things in nature that are sweet sometimes contain chromium, such as: red clover tops and raw honey. These can maintain a chromium level. However a deficiency often requires a supplement. GTF Chromium is a very stable chromium and does not put stress on the body or pancreas as does Chromium chelated to pinolenic acid such as chromium picolinate. The average dosage taken by those with a deficiency is 2000 mcg (microgram). The body doesn't produce minerals and since it is a trace mineral it is possible to take to much. I suggest no one take more than 2000 mcg without the aid of a competent health professional. The focus of this site is to "educate, validate, and suggest alternative methods for the treatment of health conditions," which are not readily available to those who go through mainstream programs. To help ensure good results, high quality foods and supplements are vital. Knowing that the cost of supplements can get overwhelming, we provide a wholesale store.
