    Chromium

    Hey all. I know a lot of you are taking chromium supplements. I was just wondering how much of it you use?

    My current ones are 500mcg/tablet and the bottle recommends 1 per day. I know you can't really OD on this stuff, but I'm wondering if you guys are using about that much, or a higher dose.
    Thanks!

    I'm actually not sure how much is in the multivitamin I take but I know it's in there. I'll have to go peek.

      If memory serves, 300mcg is the recommended amount for chromium per Atkins. I keep my intake around that. Chromium is under scrutiny for possible chromosomal damage. The US dietary recommendation is 25 mcg for females. I'd say keep the 500 you have now but maybe think of going a step lower next time you purchase.

        I just looked and my bottle says 200mcg per serving.
