Is Chromium GTF Water the Next Big Thing in Wellness?Maybe, but the claims are more anecdotal than science-based |
So what exactly is the mechanism that might correlate chromium with diabetes symptoms? Well, that's where the glucose tolerance factor comes in: "Insulin operates as a receptor on every cell in the body, assisting in the transfer of glucose into cells to feed them and yield energy," explains Dr. Laurie Brodsky, HBSc, ND and Dirty Lemon's in-house naturopath. "By helping to regulate insulin function, you're essentially telling your body that you're full." She continues by explaining that chromium has the ability to work on the cellular level, mitigating these neuropathways: instead of dropping up and down like a rollercoaster throughout the day and particularly during periods of stress like acute exercise, chromium is thought to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels. From there, cravings and binge eating tendencies are better able to be kept at bay, some believe.
