Theoretically, chromium is important for bodybuilding because it enhances the anabolic effect of insulin by reducing the accumulation of fat and by increasing muscle glycogen stores.
Unfortuntaely, in the 80’s a large-scale research showed that the chromium in chronically lacking in the nutrition of the most population.
Persons usually get less that normal chromium compounds doses. What about bodybuilders whose training provoke an additional loss of chromium?
The urge to take chromium compounds is not for filling the deficit, but for a distinct anabolic effect. However among bodybuilders we often find the concept that chromium has no anabolic effect abd all this is advertising crap.
But the fact is that chrome is a strong anabolic, because it increases the ability of muscle tissue to absorb glucose. The whole point of the issue is that the effect is not immediate. Actual results begin to affect not earlier than 6 months of regular use of chromium. Intravenous administration and powder supplements of chromium are equally effective. So the conclusion is that we can only blame the bodybuilders that criticize the chromium compounds, for their impatience.
