Chromium is an essential nutrient that is vital in regulating blood sugar levels and along with vitamin B3 and the three amino acids: glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine, acts as a part of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF) that balances the action of insulin. Chromium is depleted from foods by processing and refining and consequently some people obtain inadequate intake from their diets.

Signs of chromium deficiency include; poor concentration, light-headedness, fainting, hunger pangs and cravings.

This formula is ideal for those with food cravings (pre-menstrual and non-cyclical) and other blood sugar imbalances, including low blood sugar (i.e. hypoglycaemia), and as support for aandida albicans sufferers. It is also very relevant for those with syndrome X; the name given to a group of symptoms which indicate that the body's systems have become 'resistant' to the hormone, insulin.
