Abstract
Chromium (Cr) is a mineral that humans require in trace amounts, however its mechanisms of action in the body and the exact amounts needed for optimal health are not well defined. Cr has long been of interest for its possible connection to various health conditions. Among the most active areas of Cr research is for its use in supplement form to treat diabetes, lower blood lipid levels, promote weight loss, and improve body composition. However, controversy exists as to whether dietary supplementation with Cr should be routinely recommended in subjects. In this paper, we will review the favorable effects of Cr supplementation on glycemic control in patients with diabetes.
