Chromium

USE: Chromium is an essential mineral, required by the body in trace amounts. Chromium plays a fundamental role in controlling blood sugar levels. It encourages sugar and fat metabolism, regulates the action of insulin and stabilises blood sugar. Chromium may also participate in cholesterol metabolism, suggesting a role for this mineral in maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels. It also reduces mood swings and anxiety and enhances energy and stamina, 
SOURCE: Concentrated foods sources of chromium include onions, tomatoes, vegetables as a whole, brewer's yeast, oysters, whole grains, bran cereals, and potatoes. Many people do not get enough chromium in their diet due to food processing methods that remove the naturally occuring chromium in commonly consumed foods.
