ChromiumChromium is one of the most popular dietary supplements marketed for weight loss. Even though chromium is no magic fat-melting bullet, it DOES play a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism. As a dietary supplement, chromium may be helpful in controlling blood sugar (by enhancing insulin sensitivity) and by doing so, may help some people reduce appetite and food cravings. Vanadium is another mineral that has effects in promoting the actions of insulin and therefore, may also be beneficial in controlling blood sugar. |
