Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate)
Chromium Benefits at a Glance:
- Supports healthy blood sugar levels and stable energy
- Helps balance mood and maintain mental clarity
- Assists in proper glucose utilization by nerve cells
- Supports healthy neurotransmitter function
- Plays a role in balancing cortisol levels
- Helps reduce the sugar cravings and energy fluctuations associated with stress
When blood sugar levels fluctuate, it can affect everything from your energy levels to your mood and stress response. Chromium helps stabilize these fluctuations by improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
Studies indicate that adequate chromium levels support healthy neurotransmitter function, particularly those involved in mood regulation and cognitive performance. It also helps regulate cortisol, further demonstrating its importance in stress, hormone balance and the nervous system. By regulating glucose levels, chromium can also help prevent the energy crashes, fatigue and brain fog that can occur during periods of stress.
Blood sugar balance is so critical to nervous system function that imbalances have been a contributing root cause in depression, binge-eating, anxiety and mood fluctuations.
Why It’s Included
For its fundamental role in maintaining stable blood sugar levels, which is essential for optimal nervous system function and energy production. Chromium helps regulate stress hormones through supporting glucose metabolism, which makes it a key nutrient for maintaining steady energy levels and supporting overall neurological health.
