Chromium deficiency among athletes leads to lowering their sports results and slower growth of muscle tissue.

According to American scientists, up to 90% of people taking with the food less chromium than the minimum necessary quantity, which is 50-200 mg per day. The reason is the industrial food processing, in which 80% of chromium disappears from raw material. Lack of chromium in products associated also with the leaching of arable land. Decisions can be a reception of chromium as supplement to the diet. For this purpose, serves chromium picolinate, which is one of the biologically active forms of chromium.

Today, almost all the known role of vitamins in the diet rights. But is less well known that without minerals, vitamins no have positive effect. Our body can develop some vitamins independently, but it could not synthesize minerals, and they must be supplemented with food.
Food and drug Administration of United States has found years ago the recommended daily dozens of six minerals. These are calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc. In addition, the body needs the 12 lesser known trace elements - these are chlorine, chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine, manganese, molybdenum, potassium, selenium, sodium, sulfur and vanadium.
Calcium and phosphorus are responsible for the health of bones and teeth. Calcium and magnesium are important in maintaining the normal functioning of the heart and circulatory system. Magnesium is indispensable to the functioning of the nervous system and muscles, playing a major role in the transformation of sugars into energy. Without chromium the correct processing of saccharides is not possible. Cobalt, like iron, is needed to form red blood cells. Copper is needed for the transformation of iron in hemoglobin. Iodine stimulates activity of the thyroid gland. Molybdenum contributed splitting saccharides and fats, is a member of the enzymes responsible for the assimilation of iron. Potassium, together with sodium regulates the provision of body for water and salt, normalizes the rhythm of the heart and contributes to the removal of slags from the body. Selenium, together with vitamin E is an important antioxidant, protects tissues from infection, slows the aging process, is a preventive means of oncological diseases.

Calcium and iron are minerals which most of all does not suffice in an organism of women. They are recommended in the postnatal period or in advanced age.
Calcium helps people who have complaints of pain in the spine and reins, legs, reduces pain during menstruation. Insufficient of calcium leads to the body intaking of tin and its deposits in the bones and teeth. With a shortage of calcium in the bones during growth, the radioactive isotope of strontium can take its place. Calcium is required for pancreatitis, it activates lipase. Lack of calcium is the main cause of osteoporosis in women after 30 years. Among the major issues of the day, osteoporosis ranks third place, after cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
Magnesium is indispensable to the work of the nervous and muscular systems. It affects effect more than 300 species of vital enzymes, is important for the metabolism, as well as for creation and the use energy in the body. It supports the work of the heart, normalizes blood circulation and prevents heart attacks. It slows down aging and prevents vascular occlusion, lowers cholesterol in the blood, keeps it within the rules. Along with calcium it acts as a sedative, has an anti-stress effect.
The main condition for absorption of calcium and magnesium is the ratio of 2:1.
There are several factîrs that determine the utilizatiîn îf calcium, îne îf them is vitamin D supply. Vitamin D-3 prîmîtes the absorption îf calcium frîm the intestines, its integratiîn intî bones; mîreîver it helps maintain the calcium balance îf blood plasma. This latter is impîrtant because calcium, besides being a building blîck fîr bones, plays an impîrtant rîle in the functiîning îf the nervous system, nîrmal cîagulatiîn prîcess, fîr which first îf all calcium in the blood plasma is needed.

Iron refers to the essential mineral substances. It is necessary to form red blood cells and muscular red dye (myoglobin), as well as certain enzymes. Our organism not develops an iron. We can get it only with food, and only 2-10% of iron digested and enters the circulatory system. In this regard, we may to take iron as dietary supplement. Iron contributes to growth, increases the body's immunity to all sorts of diseases, removes fatigue. Iron restricts and treats anemia, updates colour of skin.
Women lose monthly twice more iron than men. Iron and calcium are two elements which are most lacking in the body of all women. Pregnant need twice more iron then the rest of women. If the approximate daily dose of iron for women is 15 mg, the pregnant and nursing mothers need it 50 mg per day. Therefore, a lack of iron is threatening almost 10-50% of infants and older, girls in puberty, pregnant, older women and athletes. Lack of iron in children has been seen in reduced of mental capacity, focus and coordination.
Lack of iron can cause brittle of hair, nails, a sense of fatigue and dizziness. The people who drink a lot of tea and coffee must use more of iron.
Ideally it is replenish iron deficiency in the chelated form. Creation of chelates is a process of turning minerals into a form suitable for digestion and absorbed into the body more easily. Mineral substances in the chelated form formed with the help of amino acids, absorbed 3-10 times better than inorganic minerals.
Recommended dosage: children in case of the diagnosed lack of iron - under the instruction of the doctor, adults - 1 tablet daily.
