Chromium
Chromium can be found in..... cheese, meat, whole grains, brown rice and brewers yeast..... it is in dried beans, molasses, calf liver, chicken, corn and dairy products..... dried liver (ew!).....dulse, eggs and mushrooms...and potatoes. It is in red clover, sarsaparilla, horsetail, licorice, nettle and catnip. Oh yum... catnip! Just what we all like to eat.
In the Calp book the Hellers recommend Glucose Tolerance Factor Chromium which is labeled "certified biologically active". Their book says that the National Research Council says that 50 to 200 micrograms of trivalent chromium each days is the "safe and adequate" daily intake recommendation.
Take your Chromium at the same time every day, but do NOT take it with food or medications. Zinc can interfere with the absorption of Chromium. Take it with water and nothing else.
