Chromium Picolinate: Your Thoughts

[Kevin Larrabee]

Does anyone take this stuff? I got a free bottle with a recent BB.com order. I know what the supposive science is behind it is, but is it BS?

I take it daily to regular blood sugar, and I believe that it has helped. I have some sort of blood sugar disorder, hypoglycemia most likely. I've never had it verified by a doctor, but a few docs I know have said it sounds like it from my description.

This is also why I'm big on JB's style of eating... but I'll always have a power bar or a packet of honey around!

Ahhh...chromium...this was my favorite "fat burner" during my misguided era in high shcool. Companies used to push this hard, around the time pyruvate was in its prime.

Because chromium is needed for insulin to function properly people originally believed that more chromium would make insulin work even better (increased sensitivity). But as with many vitamins and minerals when your body has enough more will not necessarily make things work better.

Taking it won't hurt (as long as you don't overdose) but it most likely won't made a difference either....opt for the bb.com sweat towel next time

Chromium is good, but one of the main noticable things it does it is actually a diuretic
