How is it harmful not to have chromium in your body?

If you have a chromium deficiency, it can interfere with the bodies ability to metabolize glucose, resulting in elevated glucose levels. It can also cause a disease called peripheral neuropathy, the symptoms of this are numbness in the hands and feet, muscle weakness, and/or decreased reflexes.

Answer 2

Without enough chromium in your body, you may experience insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar levels, and an increased risk of developing type 2 Diabetes. Chromium is essential for insulin function and helps regulate glucose metabolism, so a deficiency can disrupt these processes and lead to health problems.
