User Reviews for chromium

I take 800 mcg daily of chromium picolinate for atypical depression. It definitely helps with food cravings, if those are a symptom of your depression. I highly recommend it to anyone with atypical depression.

With taking 800 MCG. daily I am down 18 lbs. in 1 month. Works great for me.

Using GTF chromium 200 mcg in early a.m. usually a few hours prior to eating, has gradually lowered blood glucose from high 130's to mid to low 90's. Cinnamon, approximately 1/4 tsp. to 1/2 tsp. has been used in conjunction. Forgetting the cinnamon reduced the effect. Be aware Cassia cinnamon, [the most common variety], contains the blood thinner coumarin.

Was expecting a lot more. Never lost anything and I exercised and watched what I ate

I'm taking this for a month now and found my level was becoming normal to 124 mg/dL but should of course avoid heavy carbs such as pastries, chocolates, cakes etc. But the thing is that chromium is a chemical and can have a destructive effect to the liver and kidney in using it for a long run. Be cautious and everytime check for the latest updates about it from the internet and medical forum.

I have been trying to regulate my glucose for several years, I was metformin, that did not work, then I started DIAMICROM MR 30mg then it was increased to 90mg. did not work for me, Then I started taking Chromium 500mcg by (Swiss)in the morning, now my levels are so normal and I have also lost weight. I'm so amazed and would like to share this with the world.

My order is in transit. searched chromium picolinate, found that it sometimes is mixed with fenfluramine and that fenfluramine causes heart valve problems. FDA has outlawed the use of fenfluramine. Since it is outlawed, I think it is not in picolinate used in Garcinia 1000mg. So I will not be afraid of taking Garcinia 1000mg with picolinate. end

more energy all day my sugar leval don't go to low very good control no matter what I eat

Pre diabetes, use 200 mcg b fast, and lunch then 400 or 500 mcg st dinner. With 1 ACV and 1 Bitter Mellon. I have normal blood readings and no longer on Metforman. I use solgar brand.

I have more feeling in my feet.

Started with 150 mcg, then doubled after two weeks. Absolutely no change in appetite or weight after one month. I'll go to three capsules a day for a few months before giving up.

i began to feel dizzy, lightheaded, flushed, ears turned dark red, sclera of both eyes were red, pulse 150, chest pain, thought I was having a heart attack, this did not happen each time I took the multivitamin for energy from CVS, it occured after every few times I took the vitamin

i'm not a diabetic so have no idea the effects on my blood sugar, however when i use this supplement, i notice an impressive effect on my fat/muscle ratio. i have a bmi in the top of the average range, and workout 2x/wk with weights, max (so busy!). When taking chromium piccolinate, within one or two days, I am much leaner and less flabby! love it

Atkins diet along with Chromium and Cinnamon, plus other supplements, and exercise lowered my blood sugar from 302 to 94 in five weeks. No need for insulin. I weighed 317 lbs now I am 288 lbs and dropping.

Took chromium picolinate for three to four mos. w/no actual weight loss and a slight decrease in sugar craving. Not effective in a non diabeteic person. May help w diabetes as described but I dont know of any diabeteics who are willing to take it.
