How does chromium help when you're trying to lose weight? I've seen lots of diet pills with Chromium in it, and I was just wondering what role it has in weight loss. Does it subdue your appetite? Boost metabolism?

QUOTE Biological role Trivalent chromium (Cr(III), or Cr3+) is required in trace amounts for sugar metabolism in humans, and its deficiency can cause chromium deficiency. In contrast, hexavalent chromium is fairly toxic. I believe that is what you are talking about. :) |
