Piping Rock Ultra Chromium Picolinate 1000 mcg 2 Bottles x 180 Quick Release Tablets Dietary Supplement

I'm on the anti-inflammatory diet. I take obscene numbers of supplements so it it very hard to pinpoint the impact of any one supplement.I'm a type 2 diabetic. It's very mild, I don't need any medication to control the glucose readings. However, before I started any supplements, it was an effort to keep the glucose readings down below 120 in the morning (90 would be better - much better).In order to control the glucose I takeChromium Picolinate 1000 mcg in the morningNatrogix Ceylon Cinnamon Capsules - 1200 mg Per Serving - I take 2 servings a day at breakfast and dinnerNatureWise ORGANIC Curcumin Turmeric 1650mg,180 caps with 95% Curcuminoids - 2 servings a day, at breakfast and dinner.Because I started the Turmeric and Cinnamon first, it's a little harder to tease out the effect of the Chromium. Both the cinnamon and turmeric are fast acting.I've taken Chromium Picolinate before when I was pre-diabetic (and not taking other supplements that mask it's effects). It seems to be a long acting supplement that lowers insulin resistance. Which explains my glucose readings over the last month. When I first started, if I overate, even with all the supplements going - my glucose readings would be 110-130. Lower, than I expected but those are unhealthy numbers. It's been slowly dropping until last night's piggy-fest (all you can eat buffet) where I ate way too many tacos. And I ate a dark chocolate at midnight. Yet, this morning the blood glucose was 90.I heartily recommend the chromium picolinate. It's a nutrient that is needed to stop your body from building insulin resistance in the first place.If you want more supplements to help control glucose - try the cinnamon first (it's very powerful), the turmeric does help lower glucose but it's not as strong as cinnamon. I like the turmeric because it's a painkiller as well (arthritis).I'm also on the anti-inflammatory diet - mostly I add lots of garlic, hot peppers, black pepper, ginger, green tea, dark chocolate, vitamin C, avocados, resveratrol, CoQ to my diet. I know it's having an effect, possibly on the glucose levels but it's hard to point to anything. One sure thing, I have lost my cravings for food. Now I get hungry and I'm free to make good/bad choices. No more ridiculous drives to eat potato chips unstoppably.Update, I read an article on hot peppers. The active anti-inflammatory ingredient is capsaicin (also, the very hot ingredient). So if it's hot, it's anti-inflammatory. Use it dried or whatever. The article also stated hot peppers "regulates the appetite". Which I interpret as, eat hot peppers to ditch the cravings. I started by adding 3 hot peppers per serving (just once a day - note, I eat the peppers) and 3 days later, I noticed I'd lost my food cravings. All of them. No potato chips, ice cream, cookies, chocolate or wine desired. It's a relief, but I kinda miss that hit of satisfaction when you sink your teeth into that first bite.

I recently ordered Piping Rock's CoQ10 and was very pleased with their product. So when I ran low on my Chromium Picolinate, I decided to order the Piping Rock brand from Amazon instead of buying the Spring Valley brand at Walmart! The quality seems high and I'm saving a little money as well! What's not to like?

😊luv these..... with this and biotin my A1C went from 9.2 to 6.8 in 3 mo. (On days you consume a lot of carbs I took and extra 1 or 2). I prefer the extended release capsules but for people who have trouble swallowing those these tablets are great. Very small and easy to take.
