Chrom ist in letzter Zeit durch Werbekampagnen zu einem beliebten Nahrungsergänzungsmittel geworden... Wird es, wie die Hersteller behaupten, wirklich helfen, unerwünschte Pfunde loszuwerden?
Chromium's role in the body and its demand
Chromium (Cr) is a micronutrient essential for the proper functioning of the body. It is required by an adult on average of 30μg/day. Some studies indicate that the intake of this mineral in the diet is too low, especially in Western countries. Chrom plays its role primarily as a component of the so-called GTF, or glucose tolerance factor. GTF is synthesized in the liver and increases the activity of insulin, thus contributing to the effectiveness of insulin transfer into cells.
Chromium and diabetes
Insulin resistance is a warning signal for the onset of type II diabetes. Its essence is a disruption of glucose penetration into the body's cells, which under normal conditions is made possible by the action of insulin. What does the whole process have to do with abdominal obesity? Let's start with the fact that almost every cell in our body has insulin receptors in its structure to which this enzyme attaches itself and enables monounsaturated sugar to enter.
Chromium affects your appetite
My assumption about reducing appetite during supplementation with this element is based on a study done on a group of women suffering from acute obesity syndrome (BED). It is a mental illness that is characterized by a loss of control over the amount of food they are taking, but it will depend on the dose of the substance and its form.
