I had posted a few days ago about CP. Someone responded saying they were taking 500 mcg twice a day. I am only taking 200 mcg twice a day. The responder stated that it took away all her sugar and carb cravings.
My ? is - is it safe to take 1000 mcg per day and are there any side effects.
Thanks for any info.

My naturopath said that she had some patients that are diabetic who are taking up to 2000 mcg per day.
If you are still having sugar cravings, why not add in an extra 200 mcg and see if that helps.

Hope you guys don't mind me bargging in here....I'm doing my research so I can get back on top of treating my PCOS after the pregnancy....but here's a link I found on Chromium picolinate which from what it says is the picolinate form should be avoided if possible due to increased chromosomal damage. But here's the link because it has a lot of helpful info on it:
I took chromium polynicotinate (my acupuncturist gave it to me). I only took it for about 2 months. During that time it stabilised my blood sugars, got rid of all of my sugar cravings (within a couple of days) and then eventually (after about 1 1/2 months) started to cause my blood sugars to drop too low, which is why I stopped. When I stopped it my sugar cravings were still gone and my blood sugars stabilised well, so I was really pleased that I only needed to take it for a short amount of time for it to do its thing. I was taking 2000 mcg.
