Description Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Chromium may help to avoid the ‘highs and lows’ of hunger patterns which can often lead to cravings and snacking between meals. Dietary chromium is obtained from wholemeal cereal and grain products (provided soils are not chromium depleted), nuts, seafood and yeast. Highly refined foods (e.g. refined sugar, refined flour used in white bread) contain little of this essential mineral, which is also easily lost during cooking or food processing.
