Heavy metal that in its trivalent oxidative states (3+) has a great nutritional value since it acts as a trace element (trace element) that enhances the action of insulin and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Meat, seafood, brewer's yeast, whole grains and nuts (especially walnuts), among others, are very rich in Chrom [German]. The recommended intake in nursing mothers is 45 micrograms daily (Ares Segura 2015). The average concentration of Chrom [German] in breast milk is 1 nanogram / mL, ranging between 0.2 and 7 ng / mL and is independent of plasma levels and maternal daily intake (Kumpulainen 1980, Anderson 1993, Mohamedshah 1998).
