Caution about Chromium; Chromium is bound up into indigestible forms when it meets up the phosphates in milk. Chromium is sometimes called glucose tolerance factor or GTF.

If you feel lightheaded, stop taking the supplement and consult your health care provider. If you have diabetes, do not take supplemental chromium (especially chromium picolinate) without first consulting with a qualified health care provider. Incidence of diabetes and heart disease decreases with increased levels of chromium in the body. Some people experience lightheadedness or a slight skin rash when taking chromium. There is no evidence that chromium is toxic, even in high doses, since any excess is excreted. However, it is suggested that you do not take more than 200 mcg daily unless supervised by a registered practitioner. Vitamin C increases the absorption of chromium. White flour and white sugar steals chromium by stepping up insulin production, which in turn flushes out chromium.
