Reply With QuoteChromium 6 is a different isotope from what you are consuming.
However, chromium picolinate, which is used in most dietary supplements has been shown to cause cell damage.

Chromium and Vit.C
Not sure what to make out of this article so i'm hoping an expert can. Is it possibly carcinogenic to use these 2 supps at the same time.

It seems like the only Chromium sold as a dietary supplement is picolinate. To get the most out of it you want to use it with Vit. C as it will help absorption. Your intestines absorb a very small amount 2~5% of the Chromium they are supplied. The rest finds its way down the toilet. While Vit. C improves absorption, I'm not sure how much exactly but hey, its supposed to be good for you right?
