This is a good supplement to help regulate your blood sugar and also promotes weight loss. The weight loss is caused by preventing drops in blood sugar that would usually prompt you to eat something sweet.

I have used chromium picolinate to help with weight loss and muscle tone. I have problems with insulin resistance and this product helps regulate my blood sugar levels without resorting to insulin or other prescriptions. I have never experienced any side effects with using this supplement. My only problem with it is the brand is hard to find in my area and I would not use it if my blood sugar levels were harder to control.

Pros:

It works well to regulate minor problems with blood sugar levels.

Cons:

This brand is hard to find where I live.

Clears Up Acne While helping with Blood Sugar

My step-daughter and I have both utilized chromium for the last few years. Whereas blood sugar issues play a role in causing acne, SD uses it to clear up the acne she gets every time she visits her mother and lives on junk food. She's in love with it! I take it for blood sugar issues but am not as sold on it as SD is.

Date Purchased: Off and on for 3 years
Price Paid: $10
Recommend: Yes

Pros:

Clears up acne. Does appear to help regulate blood sugar but I don't 'feel' the difference on a daily basis.

Cons:

Takes about a week for the acne to disappear. I am uncertain if it needs to build up in the system to be effective or if it takes a week to undo the internal/balance damage from one weekend's free-for-all. Regardless, it is a slow-to-act product making it more difficult if it is actually helping thus a challenge to maintain the regime.
