There are
a number of chromium supplements on the market including
GTF chromium, chromium polynicotinate, and others. All
of the better chromium supplements, including chromium
picolinate, are in a tri-valent chemical state. Chromium
picolinate has the advantage of being hypoallergenic since
there is no yeast. Furthermore, most of the chromium research
has used the picolinate form of chromium. Chromium picolinate
is the best researched and most reliable form available.
Each capsule contains 200mcgs of chromium from chromium
picolinate.
Caution:
Because chromium can increase insulin sensitivity, this
may alter insulin requirements in diabetics. There is
some evidence that persons with reactive hypoglycemia
may also need to use caution with chromium. This applies
to all forms of chromium, not just chromium picolinate.
For this reason we need to include the following warning
- Diabetics/Hypoglycemics: Use only under a physician's
supervision.
