Weight-Loss Chromium in Multi-Vitamins

[Boam46]

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

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.

Thanks Trevor

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

Your welcome Boam!

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.
