How it works What is metabolism? Metabolism is the process that your body uses to transform food into energy so it can carry out everyday functions such as breathing, digestion and blood circulation. The amount of energy (calories or kilojoules) that your body uses to complete these vital processes is affected by your metabolism.1 Your body’s metabolism is influenced by factors like your diet and exercise habits, the ageing process and your sleeping patterns. For example, if you consume more energy (calories or kilojoules) than you burn for fuel via your metabolic processes and physical activity, then you may put on weight because the body will store the excess energy as fat.1 Chromium aids sugar and fat metabolism Chromium is an essential trace mineral that helps the body metabolise (or break down) dietary fats, carbohydrates (sugars) and proteins consumed in the diet so the body can use them for metabolic processes.
