Mineral helps your body metabolize energy.
Chromium
Chromium is a macromineral that helps in carbohydrate utilization and is involved in metabolism of glucose for energy, as well as the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. It helps bring protein to where it is needed. Chromium is found in unsaturated fats such as corn oil, and in meats, clams, Brewer's Yeast, liver, whole grain, cereal, chicken, and shellfish. It is essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones and teeth and it assists in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. Chromium may help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and is important in preventing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity.
