The human body is similar to the difficult mechanism in which all processes are interconnected.
Happen a surplus or a shortcoming something — and it will affect all bodies and systems. It concerns and is lame.
Description and characteristic
Chrome — the Greek word that means color. It was called so because of a large amount of colors of its different connections. The strong, massive and difficult giving in to melting (temperature of melting of 1870 degrees) metal of silver-blue color. It is purely plastic. Chemically maloaktiven. Does not give in to oxidation, to it moisture is not terrible. Density — 7 g on 1 cc.
Learn what role is played by minerals in a human body.
Begins to interact with air vapors from 600 degrees, and from 2000 degrees — contacting to oxygen, ignites.
Whether you know? Its main characteristic is the toxicity. Chrome dust annoyingly affects lungs.
Functions and role in an organism
The functional value of substance is huge. It makes active the biocatalysts which are taking part in a carbohydrate metabolism, synthesizing of fatty acids, proteins and cholesterol. Besides, it corrects sugar level in blood, improves effectiveness of insulin, at people with the chrome overestimated in blood the risk significantly decreases to ache with diabetes and atherosclerosis. Positively influences decomposition of excess fat, promotes disappearance of sclerous plaques and reduction of a congestion of cholesterol on aorta walls. Its reserve will help to overcome a stress.
Separately it is necessary to tell about its biological role. Substance adjusts carbohydrate metabolism and degree of glucose in blood. Together with insulin normalizes transmittivity of cell membranes for glucose, expenditure and preservation of glucose cages. Has ability to increase effectiveness of insulin in all katageneza of a metabolism which are regulated by it.
Influencing lipidic exchange, stimulates division of excess fat, and it, in turn, normalizes the lump of a body and creates obstacles for obesity. Generalizing, it should be noted that chrome extremely means in prevention of diabetes, heart troubles and vessels much.
What contains chrome: products sources
Asparagus cabbage, beer yeast, liver and grape juice are considered as his best suppliers. They a little according to contents are conceded by potatoes, whole grain, meat and sea food. There is it and in some fruit, vegetables and spices. Is available in a lettuce, crude onions, in ripe tomatoes. However it is a little of it in milk and products from milk.

It is useful to know in what products contains and what role in a human body is carried out by sodium, potassium, zinc, calcium, magnesium, selenium, silicon.
But it is necessary to have in in view of — from all chrome which arrived with food, the organism acquires only 1% of pure substance. Also this element is present at beer yeast, at their use its comprehensibility is 100%. Still substance comes to a human body with air. But also here only one quarter is acquired, other three quarters just exhaust.
Important! The threat to get poisoned with chrome is especially increased at inhabitants of industrial centers with harmful production. Its surplus in air can cause asthma and lung cancer. If the dose of substance makes more than 200 mg, then it becomes toxic, and 3 g — deadly.
Daily requirement and norms
Various biochemical schools differently define standard daily rate of chrome. It concerns also various life situations: the strengthened use of carbohydrates, intense physical work, injuries and infections and also stressful situations — then requirement increases in it.
For adults
However, if to try to remove average norm, then it will turn out for adult 0.2-0.25 mg a day. Besides, the people leading an inactive life need 25-35 mkg, and actively playing sports — every day about 200 mkg.
For children
The need for chrome of kids (boys and girls) at the age of 1-3 years makes 11 mkg a day, from 3 to 7 years — 13 mkg, from 7 to 11 years — 15 mkg, from 11 to 14 years — 25 mkg, to teenagers from 14 years to majority — already 35 mkg.
Vitamins are necessary for it for the normal growth and development of the child. Especially important vitamin for children in the first years of life is D.A vitamin as the products containing this vitamin are inaccessible to the baby, learn about the most popular medicines with vitamin D.
For pregnant women
This element is extremely necessary for pregnant women. It helps an organism with preservation of the received fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Favors to production of insulin, and that, in turn, supports normal glucose level. Also together with insulin helps with saturation by protein of fabrics of a fruit.
Pregnant women in day need 30 mkg of chrome, and feeding — 45 mkg. The woman more young 18 years during pregnancy are necessary for 29 mkg a day, and in the period of a lactation — 44 mkg.
Important! Separately chromic nutritional supplements will not reduce body weight and will not increase muscles. The normal nutritious balance and physical activity are more important.
Deficiency and surplus: reasons and symptoms
The insufficient amount of chrome, as well as its surplus, can have an adverse effect on a human body. Let's consider both situations.
Shortage
The deficiency of substance can be determined by such signs: concern, an astenichnost, lack of a dream, headaches, exhaustion, dissonance in coordination of muscles, frequent convulsive reduction of muscles of hands and legs, intolerance of glucose, especially at people of average and senior age group and diabetics. Also there can be a sharp dumping or a set of weight, and men have a disorder with reproductive function.
The food allowance with the excessive content of carbohydrates can be the main reason for shortage and also it happens at pregnancy and heavy physical activities. For reduction of shortage of this important microcell it is necessary to limit consumption of sugar, drinks with gas, candies, products from white flour.
Study simple rules which will help to refrain from consumption of sweet.
Surplus and its harm
Excessive saturation chrome damages health too. When there is too much it, it breaks physiological functions of an organism, there is poisoning, and at heavy defeats — death. The surplus is shown in inflammatory diseases with tendency to damage of mucous membranes (perforation of a partition of a nose). In allergic illnesses — bronchial asthma and asthmatic bronchitis.
Excessiveness factors:
- it is too much chrome in air;
- excessive use of chromium dietary supplements;
- the strengthened penetration of substance at the shortage of zinc and iron;
- violation of exchange of this substance.
Whether you know? Excessive consumption of white flour and sugar promotes the strengthened loss of chrome and its shortage in an organism.
Medicines with chrome
The main purpose of these medicines is to liquidate a lack of substance. The chromium medicines produced by the pharmacological industry are various, but, despite this, carry all of them to dietary supplements.
They are issued in the form of tablets, capsules or drops. The dose of chromium medicines in day should not exceed 200 mkg, minimum — 40 mkg. The concrete dosage is defined individually, with the most various factors: man or woman, how many years, occupation and state of health. For today especially popular consider Pikolinat of chrome. It is dietary supplement in the form of capsules or slightly sweetish drops. Reduces appetite, thirst for sweet, catalyzes metabolism. Use additive together with food. It is safe even at excess of a daily dose.
Quite often medicines with chrome make in special vitamin complexes. Carry to such type also Karnitin Plus Hrom. Its following action: medicine oppresses the need for sweet and muffles desire is. Besides chrome, contains a carnitine and other vitamins. Accept it, as well as other chromium medicines, at meal time.
One more medicine with chrome — Tsenturi 2000. It is a vitamin complex with chrome and other minerals. Its action — adjustment of a metabolism, decrease in consumption of carbohydrates and balancing of a hormonal background. But it is necessary to know the main thing: without corresponding change of a food allowance chromium medicines are useless. They work only together with physical activity and a diet.
Important! Chromium dietary supplements are appointed only by the doctor.
Interaction with other substances
Iron and zinc are synergists of this substance: they are capable to enhance efficiency of each other.
Contraindications and precautionary measures
During administration of drugs with chrome, besides elimination of its deficiency, there has to be also the second purpose — consumption of healthy food and decrease in amount of the consumed sweets and greasy food.
Important! Dietary supplements with this element are forbidden pregnant women and the feeding women.
It is difficult to receive overdose of chrome, but it is necessary to use it all the same with care, paying attention to the term specified in the instruction. Also do not forget — uncontrolled use of medicine can work great mischief to health.
