    Chromium??

    Hey guys, i just started talking chromium picolinate to help subside my sugar cravings while i'm cutting. I get it real bad, i been told i'm close to hyperglycemic.

    Can you tell me if you can get poisoning from taking too much?
    I took it a while ago and took about 3 tabs a day (big ones) these ones are only small and it recomends only 1.
    If i still get cravings i was gonna up to 2-3 tabs a day

    There are cases of renal failure, specifically interstitial nephritis in as little as 600 mcg a day for six weeks. Here are two links, the first has a case involving a BB.

    Also, female athletes who take it become anemic since the chromioum binds to transferrin and can cause iron deficiency in wome who are still actively menstruating. If you have been told you are close to hyperglycemic, see your doc and check it out further. I've seen a disproportionate amount of type 1.5 diabetes (a slow autoimmune diabetes) in body builders. chromium does help type II diabetics who are insulin resistant, but body builders almost never develop this.
