Diagnostic Blood Test:

• Chromium, Plasma

Chromium, Plasma measures the concentration of chromium in the blood plasma, providing essential insights into an individual’s chromium status and overall metabolic health. Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a pivotal role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism by enhancing the action of insulin, a critical hormone for regulating blood glucose levels. Assessing plasma chromium levels is valuable for diagnosing chromium deficiencies or toxicities, evaluating dietary intake, and managing conditions related to glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
