Today, I want to cover what you need to know about using chromium picolinate for insulin resistance. Chromium is a trace mineral needed in tiny amounts. 

Insulin resistance is a situation where the receptors for insulin are resisting insulin; this then tells the pancreas to make more insulin. So, now you have high levels of insulin, but the insulin is ineffective. 

There are a lot of side effects of having high insulin, such as:
• Prediabetes
• Diabetes
• Belly fat
• Artery problems
• Eye problems 
• Kidney problems
• Heart problems
• Brain problems
• And more

A few things chromium can do: 
1. Increase glucose transporters
2. Decrease stress in endoplasmic reticulum
3. Inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress 
4. Increase glutathione 

Benefits of chromium picolinate:
1. It can decrease cravings 
2. It can help get you into keto faster 
3. It can be beneficial for those with PCOS
