Using Chromium Picolinate for Weight Loss - is it Effective?

Author: Toni T Author Ranking Silver | Posted: 15-05-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 63 | Rating:  (299) Article Popularity - Blue (?) Got a Question? Ask.

Thousands of people take supplements containing chromium picolinate for weight loss. But is it dangerous, and does it work? Here are some things you may want to consider before taking chromium picolinate or products containing it for weight loss.

It has been reported that chromium can lower cholesterol, promote weight loss, treat diabetes and help people who suffer from depression. So far the most carefully conducted studies have shown that chromium picolinate has no benefit as a weight loss aid.

The area where this supplement does seem to help is diabetes. Studies show that it does have an effect on insulin in the body, and may be effective in treating people with diabetes.

Lab studies have found that chromium picolinate might cause cancer. This is preliminary evidence, but since no one knows whether this supplement is safe taken over a long period of time, it is better to find other methods for weight loss.

There is no reliable evidence supporting the claims that chromium builds muscle, aids in weight loss, lowers cholesterol or helps with depression. And since it can be dangerous and not that much is known factually about the supplement, it's best to find other ways to lose weight.

With so many options available these days, losing weight is not that hard. Eating a balanced diet and cutting down on fats and carbohydrates helps immensely. Diet foods, natural herbal supplements and the right kinds of exercise can help anyone lose weight and keep it off.

If you were thinking of using chromium picolinate for weight loss, you might want to find a safer alternative.
