It's fairly safe to say we all know what it's like when that energy slump hits.
We feel irritable, shaky, tired, can't concentrate and we scramble desperately for any sugar we can get our hands on! Like a bull in a china shop, it appears like clockwork and there's no stopping it..... or is there?
Surely if there was a way to stop reaching for that stash of freddo frogs you would have heard about it??? But maybe you haven't. Well breathe a sigh of relief as I tell you what it is!
It's called Chromium. What is Chromium you might ask? Well, Chromium is an essential trace mineral meaning the body needs it for good health. It is naturally found in the soil and so is present in foods like yeast, mushrooms, prunes, and broccoli.
Over cultivation as a result of farming has left soil and food products low in this wonder mineral, so supplementation in the form of chromium picolinate is fast becoming the best way to obtain this essential mineral. Note, when having vitamin or mineral supplements always take these as directed and consult your doctor if symptoms persist.
But why is chromium so important I hear you say…
