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.

Price Paid: $10
Recommend: Yes

Pros:

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

Cons:

This brand is hard to find where I live.

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.
