Chromium increases insulin binding to cells. It also increases action
of insulin on body cells. Because of increase binding and action of
insulin, administration of chromium as diabetes nutritional
supplement results in improvement of blood glucose control in diabetic
patients. Anyone taking Chromium????ThanksStephenwww.net-diabetics.com

I take it but I haven't noticed that it is doing anything for me.

I use GTF. Not Piccolinate.

I suspect it'd only be helpful if you were deficient in it. Given that
best sources are romaine lettuce, tomatoes and onions, I'm probably
swimming in it, and I certainly don't supplement.

Chromium picolinate doesn't have the gtf that works for diabetes. That
pico... type is absorbed quicker but is useless. Money down the drain.

Search "chromium". The whole document is very interesting but as always with
a grain of salt.

Actually, picolinate is not useless, but it may have some damaging
effects, hence the preference for GTF.

Picolinate works just fine for insulin sensitizing.
