Benefits

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that plays a key role in glucose metabolism and helps regulate insulin function. This mineral is especially important for hormonal balance as it influences blood sugar regulation, which is a crucial factor in hormonal health.Additionally, Chromium has been studied for its potential to help with PCOS. Due to its ability to support glucose metabolism it may improve symptoms of PCOS, such as blood sugar parameters and body composition.

Evidence

  • A study showed that eight weeks of chromium supplementation among PCOS women had favorable effects on markers of insulin metabolism.
  • Maintenance of blood glucose levels
  • Normal macronutrient metabolism
