Chromium Picolinate

Chromium piccolinate is a mineral that humans require in trace amounts and that can be found in meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and spices. Chromium is used by the body to help insulin function properly and has been studied predominately in relation to diabetes, but has been found to have a myriad of other health benefits. Since chromium helps the body break down carbohydrates and fats, supplements can be used to enhance weight loss. It is also known to help treat depression by inducing the release of norepinephrine, a mood-enhancer. Moreover, since it helps control carbohydrate cravings, it also stabilizes diurnal mood variation related to eating habits. While chromium is not a miracle cure, it provides noticeable relief of anxiety and problems associated with blood sugar metabolism.
