and no problems.MY Dr tell me some one of
my age have Diabetes, Cholesterol, High blood pressure.I dont have any at age 69.
I give it all to Chromium Picolinate.My
Glucose is 96.my blood pressure is 128/70
This does not work for everybody,but worth
the try.Every thing stays the same with me.

I don’t trust creatine because of supposed health risks but I do take protein. Do you know if there are any long term health issues when taking chromium?

Taking them has not been shown to be protective of anything so why bother?

I have read where chromium and sleeping issues have beem linked as well as headaches to copper but don’t understand wether it occures when you get to much or not enough. I beleive I understood it to occure with high levels but again am not sure. Is it even possible for the ammounts I specified to be enough to cause these types of side effects in someone? Thanks in advance for your time.

Overall, therefore until further studies prove it to be beneficial…the value of chromium supplements for diabetics is inconclusive and controversial at most.

Do you think I am just wasting my money & should stop taking it? Your professional advice is much appreciated, thank you & more power.
