Chela-Chrom™ is a diet supplement containing the safest and easiest to assimilate source of organic chromium in the form of amino acid chelate ALBION®. Chromium is a vital mineral component responsible for controlling body weight and metabolism.

How does chromium act?

Chromium influences the proper functioning of insulin – the most important hormone which controls the sugar and fat balance in the organism. In the case of a chromium deficiency, insulin acts wrongly, i.e. it decreases the amount of sugar used by muscles and hence increases their negative impact on fatty tissue. Consequently, the muscles become weakened and the fat weight of the body increases. Chromium diverts the direction of insulin action and thus improves the body’s firmness and boosts greater fat loss. This element belongs to the group of the most important food ingredients, assisting the maintenance of a slim, well-shaped figure.

Can chromium weaken the appetite?

Yes. By increasing sensitivity to insulin it impedes the activity of the hunger centre in the brain, which results in lower food intake and limiting the caloric value of the diet. This ingredient is particularly effective in impeding appetite for sugar, hence chromium supplementation is often recommended for people who have a liking for sweets and starchy food.

What can a chromium deficiency in a human organism result in?

Deficiency of this important mineral can lead not only to an increase in the body weight but also the development of adverse pathologic changes. It leads, for example, to an increased level of “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood as well as the impairment of the carbohydrate balance. If chromium consumption is too low it can increase the risk of circulatory system diseases and diabetes.

Why does a human organism suffer from chromium deficiency so often?

First of all, it results from limiting wholemeal products and replacing them with highly-processed starchy food and sweets. This kind of diet on the one hand limits the consumption of food containing chromium and on the other hand the consumption of food containing a lot of sugar whose metabolism requires more doses of the element. According to research on chromium consumption, the average chromium deficiency in a diet is several dozen per cent.

Does every form of chromium have the same effect?

When using chromium supplements remember to take the safest and most effective forms of the element. Amino acid chromium chelates (Chela-Chrom™) are the most efficient at balancing the metabolism. They are also commonly known as the chromium glucose tolerance factor and greatly exceed widely used chromium polynicotinate and picolinate preparations as far as bioavailability and metabolic activity is concerned.

Who do we recommend Chela-Chrom™ to?

Chromium supplementation is recommended for overweight prevention and treatment, as a factor facilitating the reduction of fatty tissue. It is also recommended to people who consume excessive quantities of carbohydrates. It is particularly efficient in controlling one’s appetite for sugar and starchy food, and moreover it limits the adverse influence of sugar on the organism.
