I am hoping someone has used this for other reasons than blood sugar/diabetes. I have taken this for years. Originally I took it for weight loss, however, it appeared to help with my excessive sweating and with my mood/depression. I stopped taking it recently due to "alarming" warnings of side effects.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed as diabetic and after taking prescribed Rx for several months, I remembered the chromium. started using it again. I am now "pill free" except when in the hospital for other reasons. The medications they give me shoots my glucose soaring and so they prescribe metformin. Once I get home tho...back to the chromium 'til balanced again.Great!!!

Using product called Chromax Plus by Iceland Health, I have taken 1 tab (suggested) every morning. While watching food portions and choices, but not really feeling restricted (occasional cookies, choc.) and outdoors walking a few times a week, I have been losing 1-2 pounds a week.

While watching food portions and choices, but not really feeling restricted (occasional cookies, choc.) and outdoors walking a few times a week, I have been losing 1-2 pounds a week. I find this is fairly easy weight loss and hope it continues; I have been doing this 4 weeks now. I am obese, tired of the "6 month pregnant" belly, have recently increased blood pressure medication and have had to add a GERD rx, as I sleep on my stomach.

I worked in technical areas for 27 years with scientist/engineers. One of my fellow scientist recommended this supplement to maintain good blood vessel wall health and prevent plaque. BUT, did not listen (too busy);however, 10 years later, was dx: with MS, became fatigued, overweight plus developed type II diabetes. Was on a lot of meds, three shots per week, (at times) IV of steroids per month. Tested sugar twice daily. Started taking CP almost two years ago, lost 35 lbs. (size 18 to 10), no more sugar diabetes type II, (genetic in my family), no more high priced cholesterol drugs, it was 300 or less, now 142! I need to exercise to stay healthy and loss of weight has allowed the comfort of MOVING and making me feel good again. I DO NOT SELL this product but I saw comments on web md and wanted to add my own 2 cents. I take at least 400 mg day in the evening before meals.

I started taking this medication to help with metabolism. I developed two raised (non-pus filled) bumps on my face. I immediately stopped using the supplement to allow the bumps to clear. After waiting 2 months after bumps cleared, to make sure there was a correlation between supplement and bumps, I tried the supplement once more. Two days later, I developed newly formed bumps on my face. Afte ... Show Full Comment
