In
the scientific community, there is a rapidly growing recognition
of the importance of chromium to good health. In particular,
the link between chromium and insulin function has become
increasingly significant in metabolic research. As scientists
have begun to understand the role of insulin in many of
the body’s major functions, they have turned to chromium,
a co-factor of insulin, to help treat insulin malfunction.

Insulin
Amplifier: Chromium is key to diabetes
By Marcia Zimmerman, M.Ed., C.N.
" A highly refined diet that contains too few micronutrients
has been recognized as the dominant factor in the rising
incidence of diabetes and other insulin related conditions.
Among the missing micronutrients, chromium has the greatest
impact on insulin response."
