Is anyone taking this?? I have read it can help with PCOS symptoms and food cravings.
Love to hear from anyone's experience with chromium picolinate.
Thanks,
Bonnie
I LOVE IT!!!!! I am treating PCOS through the herbal remedie route, and I am taking it along with other things. It helps with cravings, and IR It helps me greatly!!!!!!! It is cheaper than met also and does pretty much the same thing.

I stopped taking Chromium Picolinate when I read that it causes cellular changes that can lead to cancer. There is another version of Chromium, called Chromium Polynicotate(sp?). This one isn't supposed to cause any problems, but I can't find it anywhere.
I switched to Alpha Lipoic Acid three times a day, and it worked great until my doc finally let me have Met (even though my insulin was in the normal range). Do NOT take them both.

They both lower insulin levels, so too much can lower the levels too far. Mine got too low a few times, and we couldn't figure out why until I told my doc about the ALA. Everything's fine now that I quit taking it, though. The same goes for Chromium.
BTW, my doc said that if you're taking one 200 mg ALA a day, you'd probably be fine. I was taking therapeutic levels (1000 mg a day). Just talk to your doc about it.

Thanks for the tip and the site. Do you take this and where do you purchace your ALA? Do you combine it with anything. I currently take a multivit. with chromium, calcium magnesium and niacin for cholesterol.

by Collette Harris. This is where I got all of my information when I was starting out. She has sections devoted to different symptoms, and she lists herbs/vitamins/etc that help with it. Check your local library. Every system around here has it.
