chromium picolinate

[bazerk]

Does anyone have any experience with this supplement? From my research on this it sounds pretty good, increased metabolism, fat burner, even on website had mentioned it was a "safe alternative to steroids." Just curious to if anyone has any information on this from personal use.

bump...just incase everyone only hits the "newpost" option

I take 400mcg Preworkout.

Notice any different from any of my supplements? No, but it doesn't mean they aren't benefiting me.

What I have read say that it would be more beneficial if combined with L-carntinine for fat loss. I am doing every thing else I can (cardio, diet) but just can't shed the love handles and lower ab fat. I am 6' @ 220lbs, solid but not very defined and would like to shed the stomach before doing a cutting cycle. Any personal tips?

[IBdmfkr]

Yes I take 3grams L-carntinine 30mins prior to excercise and then 400mcg chromium directly before training.

Thanks bro, I'll give the combo a try. Can't hurt any (right).

[IBdmfkr]

I've seen studies showing great results in fatloss with the combination of these two.. take it in this manner pre cardio or pre lifting.. I've staying fairly lean on a high calorie diet.

One more question if you don't mind. I believe the effect of the chromium are due to aiding with insulin. How do you think this will affect me being a type 1 diabetic? I take good care of myself and my numbers for the most part are right on.

I'd ask a doctor. I'd hate to steer you wrong.

Always, with anything I do or take. Thanks again IB.
