Rep Power: 23 | | | Chromium in Multi-Vitamins
I have been looking for a multi-vitamin to take and most of them seem to have some amount of chromium in them. I've read a bunch of articles about how chromium is really really bad for you. I know there's different kinds of chromium. Is the kind and amount in multi-vitamins insignificant? Should I just take individual vitamins over a multi-vitamin?
Thank you in advance for any advice or comments you have  |

Rep Power: 13 | | | Chromium is not "bad" for you. In fact if you are concerned about Toxicity from it, then don't.
Unless you had say a liver or kidney disease then you would need to take such a large dose you would have to intentionally try to over dose on it.
Chromium is a very important mineral and a deficient of it is often linked with diabetics. In fact, I read a report not to long ago that showed anywhere from 30-50% of the US is deficient in it thanks to the over cultivation of our soil.
There are far worse things to fear then chromium. |

I had a feeling the articles I was reading weren't correct. I didn't see how it could be in so many things and be so horrible at the same time |

If you like you could pm or place a link here to those articles that claimed it bad. I'm curious as to their reasoning behind this. | |
