Stimulate weight loss
A new study has found that chromium can help to stimulate weight loss. The research found that the mineral can help to boost the body’s metabolism.
The study looked at a group of overweight and obese people who were given either a placebo or a supplement containing chromium. After eight weeks, the group who had taken the chromium supplements had lost more weight than those in the placebo group. (4)
The researchers believe that chromium could be a helpful addition to weight loss programs, as it can help to boost the body’s metabolism and reduce appetite.
Fight oxidative stress
Chromium plays a vital role in many aspects of human health. While it is best known for its role in blood sugar control, it also plays an important role in the body’s ability to synthesize proteins and fats, and to metabolize carbohydrates. It is also involved in the regulation of cell growth and DNA synthesis.
Recent research has shown that chromium can help to reverse some of the damage caused by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a condition in which there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body’s ability to counteract their harmful effects. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that can damage cells, lipids, proteins, and DNA.
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
