Nutraceuticals and You – Chromium

CHROMIUM

Chromium supplementation has great importance today, since so many people are developing Metabolic Syndrome and Type ll Diabetes mellitus.

Chromium is a trace mineral that heightens the action of insulin’s attaching to the cell receptor site.

Chromium also appears to have antioxidant properties necessary to counteract the stress of disease processes. It also has been used to enhance serotonin functions in the brain.

Chromium usage in preventing or reversing disease processes include treatment of:

1. Diabetes
2. Gestational Diabetes
3. Dementia and Cognitive Issues
4. Reactive Hypoglycemia
5. Depression
6. Elevated Cholesterol

Chromium levels can be checked in serum by performing specialized lab testing conducted by many Integrated Functional Medical doctors. These tests are not usually processed by local labs. Once results are retrieved and reviewed, the dosage of chromium replacement can be initiated. Dr. Smith will work with you to customize a nutraceutical program for you. Just give us a call and come in for a consultation – 321-421-7111.
