Benefits of Seeking Health Optimal Chromium:
Glucose Intolerance and Diabetes
Chromium health benefits also help with glucose intolerance and diabetes. Supplementing with chromium decreases glucose intolerance and sometimes changes medicinal needs in diabetes sufferers.
Low Energy and Depression
People with low energy levels might consider the health benefits of supplementing with chromium. Chromium is responsible for aiding the body in converting carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy. Supplementing with chromium may help motivate by increasing energy levels.
Supplementing with Chromium may also relieve symptoms of depression. If you overeat or crave sleep when depressed, supplementing with chromium could be a significant bad mood buster. This is because serotonin production in the brain is decreased in chromium deficient individuals. Serotonin is a hormone responsible for the health benefits of happiness.
High Blood Pressure
Supplementing with chromium benefits health by reducing high blood pressure. It also helps liver tissue function which decreases the amount of cholesterol in the body. These two factors combined make taking a chromium supplement an important step toward reducing heart attack risk. Chromium supplementing is not meant to eliminate prescription heart medicine.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement take one capsule daily or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Dr. Ben Lynch, founder and Chief Medical Officer of Seeking Health, is a naturopathic physician. While majoring in Cell and Molecular biology at the University of Washington, Dr. Ben took a trip through the South Pacific and Southeast Asia that changed his outlook on traditional medicine, and his life.
During this trip, Dr. Ben hiked through the forests, mountains and coasts of Tasmania, worked a cattle ranch in the Outback of Australia, and volunteered with Mother Theresa in Calcutta. He lived in Fiji with a family having no electricity or plumbing, experienced the Himalayan Mountains of Northern India, worked a fruit orchard in New Zealand, and returned to America with an impression of a different form of medicine than he had ever experienced with his mainstream medical education.
This profound experience led Dr. Ben to Bastyr University, and he studied the Mind-Body Connection, Environmental Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Epigenetics.
Dr. Ben saw the huge need for people to obtain foundational nutrients, and Seeking Health was born. Without foundational nutrients, biochemical dysfunction occurs and causes symptoms. Doctor after doctor and person after person do not understand the absolute requirement for our bodies to have the tools to maintain function.
“If one supports their bodily systems, especially their digestion and mental health, with pure, highly absorbable, well-formulated nutrients, the ability to remain healthy and vital significantly increases. We want your foundation rock solid and we provide the tools to do so.”
-Dr. Ben Lynch, founder of Seeking Health
