Chromium is an essential mineral and is usually lost in processed foods. It is increasingly being used as an adjunct therapy by Integrative Medicine Practitioners. It has been suggested that Chromium Picolinate could be suitable for lowering blood sugar levels in Diabetic patients. Is this true for all diabetics?
According to some studies, Chromium Picolinate can have a significant effect on diabetes. According to the University of Vermont chromium picolinate decreases insulin levels and improves blood sugar metabolism in both obese people and people with type 2 diabetes. The US Department of Agriculture, seconded the positive assessment of Chromium and concluded that chromium picolinate supplementation for impaired glucose intolerance and diabetes showed a positive effect.
Routine chromium supplementation has not been incorporated into the nutrition guidelines published by the American Diabetes Association.
Chromium is considered a very safe supplement with almost no upper limit of dosage. However some experts do believe that chromium can upset individuals who suffer from depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Rarely, it may cause severe skin reactions.
