Chromium plays a significant role in the function of the hormone insulin. Although chromium is widely distributed in the food supply, most foods only supply very small amounts (under ~2 mcg per serving). Furthering the challenge to maintain adequate chromium stores is the fact that several factors, including diets high in simple carbohydrates, infection, acute exercise, pregnancy, lactation, trauma, and generalised stressful states may all result in increased chromium excretion. Older people also tend to be more susceptible to depletion than younger adults. Additionally, certain medications such as antacids, corticosteroids, H2 blockers, and proton-pump inhibitors alter stomach acidity and may further impair chromium absorption or enhance excretion. Chromium deficiency has been associated with impaired glucose metabolism, weight gain, fluid retention, increased blood pressure, carbohydrate cravings, elevated cholesterol, anxiety, and fatigue.

Minerals are essential for life, not just yours and mine but all life, including all plants, animals, and even insects. Each of the macro minerals sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, as well as the trace minerals iron, zinc. copper, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and iodine must be consumed in the diet for optimum health.

Body Bio Minerals are unique, highly-absorbable minerals. Their low dose solutions do not mean they have reduced potency, rather they have been designed to work specifically with the use of the testing process to provide an accurate and individualised programme of mineral restoration.

It is well known that modern farming techniques deplete many of the minerals in the soil as well as the nutritional content of our food. The absence of a steady food-derived supply of minerals subtly undermines our health. This may be difficult to quantify but we certainly are aware of the changes in the character of the food we buy.
