Chromium Picolinate

gwhalbring Posts: 1 Joined: 2007/08/16	2007/08/16, 01:29 AM I have been taking 800 mcg of Chromium Picolinate every day ( 1/2 in the morning & 1/2 at night) for the past 4 months along with with powered fiber. I have seen very significant weight/fat loss. I am now concerned that I have reached a plateau. Any advice?

This is where its 'diet' label comes from. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

Take chromium picolinate, nicotinate, or aspartate; chromium chloride is the least absorbable form. Avoid the form called glucose tolerance factor (GTF), a combination of chromium, nicotinic acid, and amino acids, which may vary so much in composition that it is not a reliable source." http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/23/21.cfm
