Chlorure de chrome

Chromium chloride is a mineral form of chromium, an essential trace element present in very small amounts in the body. It exists as an inorganic salt and is one of the most commonly used chromium sources in dietary supplements. Chromium is naturally found in foods such as whole grains, meats and legumes, but dietary intakes can be insufficient depending on eating habits. Chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients, including carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It plays a role in the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels by supporting insulin action at the cellular level. These effects are recognised by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) through official nutritional claims. Chromium chloride supplementation may be of interest for individuals whose dietary chromium intake is insufficient. Supplements allow for a precise and regular daily intake of this trace element, which can be difficult to fine-tune through diet alone.
