I'd read about it on the Atkins site. It's included in the Basic #3 Formula Atkins recommends:

"Chromium, which deserves the most attention, helps activate the uptake of insulin at its receptor sites. It is best assimilated in the form of chromium polynicotinate. A spate of studies has shown that chromium will build muscle, decrease body fat and lower cholesterol levels1. Basic #3 contains 300 mcg, which is sufficient for most individuals. Others may need up to 800 to 1,000 mcg per day."


Here's the URL for the search I did for Chromium on the Atkins site:

Hope that helps!

Thank you Rocky,
I will try it. I have been in Induction for 4 weeks and ost only 6.5 pounds. I have not chitted even once and I drink the 8 glasses of water at least. Don't know what else to do, did you stay in Induction for a long time?
