Does anyone take a chromium supplement?

I've been told that chromium can help to reduce sweet food cravings as it regulates the blood sugars. Has anyone ha any success with this?

chromium also helps your body metabolize fat into glucose.

I take chromium polynicotinate... I don't know if it's had a positive or negative effect, because I've been making so many other changes. I suspect I'll stop taking it once my bottle runs out.

Included in my multi-vitamins. Chromium at some point was included in my fat burners and still are.

Most Americans are chromium deficient. Supplementing 400mcg a day for a start is good for just about anyone.

Wow, these are more positive and numerous responses than I thought I would get! Fab!

I was taking them for a month or so and couldn't tell if they were really making a difference to my needs for sugar, as I had become a lot more disciplined. However after that month, I've left it about 2 weeks without and started having more sugary cravings.

So I have got some more and giving them another bash.

That's interesting, as a Brit I wouldn't know if we are the same? What makes Americans more deficient?

I was just taking 1x 200ug tablet but will take them twice a day now for hopefully a stronger effect
