-
Chromium
Chromium- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Excited about receiving Chromium 200 after watching Dr Oz who recommended the supplement for people fighting belly fat with the "Hunter" body type. The price was good and the shipment was prompt! Can't wait to get results from the supplement!

Comments about GNC Chromium Picolinate 200:
Since my early 20's I'v had issues with my blood sugar suddenly dropping in the mid morning or while working out. I would get dizzy, shaky and when it passed, I'd feel soooo exhausted. I started taking this product and I found after a few days, I stopped having problems. I'v taken it on and off depending on my needs and have never noticed any side effects.
On a side note, my doctor said that the blood sugar problems may be associated with caffeine consumption (I like my morning coffee). I tested this theory but still had problems on days when I did not drink coffee BUT I only ever went a day or two without coffee. Like this pill, I may of had to go longer without caffein.Pros

Comments about GNC Chromium Picolinate 200:
Having recently become diabetic, I am trying to control it with diet, exercise, and supplements. I thought I would try Chromium Picolinate because it supports glucose utilization. I'll never know if it works because I find the pill to be impossible to get down. It needs to have a slick outer surface or be in a capsule.

Comments about GNC Chromium Picolinate 200:
I use this product with the approval of my doctor. If you are diabetic you MUST consult your doctor as this affects how your body processes glucose. I am using it to assist my metabolism (or lack there of) and have found that it is helping me at least maintain my weight with minimal gain that is mostly my fault and not the medication's fault. While my diet and routine are up to me, this formula helps me somewhat maintain my weight while I am staying on the proverbial wagon or falling off it at times.
I have not had any adverse affects while taking this supplement.- My Beauty Routine Takes:
