Chromium is a dietary mineral found in trace amounts in the human body. It enhances the action of insulin, so it’s important for the metabolism and storage of glucose. Chromium also appears to have a role in fat and protein metabolism. It’s easy to get enough dietary chromium because it’s found in small concentrations in most foods.
Chromium is widely distributed in the food supply, but most foods provide only small amounts (less than 2 micrograms [mcg] per serving). Meat and whole-grain products, as well as some fruits, vegetables, and spices are relatively good sources [ 12 ]. In contrast, foods high in simple sugars (like sucrose and fructose) are low in chromium [ 13 ].Chromium is a mineral that humans need in very small quantities. Good sources include broccoli, liver, and brewers’ yeast. Chromium supplements may enhance muscle mass, weight loss, and glucose.
Another form, hexavalent chromium, or chromium VI, is found in the environment as a chemical byproduct and has been shown to be carcinogenic when inhaled. Dietary chromium intakes cannot be determined using any 3 existing databases. Rich sources of chromium include cereals, particularly all-bran 3 cereals.
Chromium in diet Chromium is an essential mineral that is not made by the body. It must be obtained from the diet.Dietary requirements range from 30 to 200 micrograms in order to compensate for its poor absorption.4 In the plasma, chromium is transported by its attachment to transferrin.
Hexavalent chromium is better absorbed than the trivalent form.5 Assessment of Chromium Status — Serum A reliable range for serum chromium is.Turkey, grape juice, whole grains and wheat germ are among the top sources of chromium. Some foods, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, apples, bananas, basil, garlic and lean beef, provide about 4 to 10 percent of the chromium needed each day.Experts don’t know how much chromium people need.
So there is no recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for chromium. Instead, experts came up with a minimum amount of chromium that people should get.In addition, 1000 mcg of chromium (as chromium yeast) together with 1000 mg of vitamin C and 800 IU of vitamin E daily for 6 months has been used. In people with gestational diabetes, 4-8 mcg/kg.Good sources of chromium include broccoli, green beans, potatoes, apples, bananas, whole grains, peas, cheese, corn, grapes, beef, and poultry. “You can.Chromium can’t be made by our bodies, so we must get it from our food.
3 Good sources include broccoli, potatoes and wholegrains. Most people get all they need from their diet. 3 Chromium is available as chromium picolinate in tablets, and also often found as part of a multivitamin.Chromium: Toxicity, Genetic diseases, Requirements, dietary sources, Micronutrient interactions Chromium has an abundance of 0.033% in the Earth’s crust.
It is a transition element that can occur in a number of valence states, with 0, +2, +3, and +6 being the most common.Chromium excretion is greater in athletic than in sedentary humans, and the chromium requirement is increased by physical activity. Research has shown that chromium supplementation can increase lean body mass in humans and pigs and results in a partitioning effect on nutrients that favors tissue anabolism and muscle protein accretion.Chromium, as the trivalent ion, has been postulated to be involved regulating carbohydrate and lipid (and potentially also protein) metabolism by enha.Like other trace minerals the amount in foods is small and varies depending on exposure to chromium in the environment and during manufacture.
In general, meat, shellfish, fish, eggs, wholegrain cereals, nuts, and some fruits and vegetables are good sources of chromium. Table 1 Dietary sources of chromium: 1 Function in the body.

I take 1000mg cinnamon, 235 mcg chromium and 350mg Magnesium along with a Multivitamin and antioxidants everyday after I finish lunch. Is this ok?
I think you’re very passionate, I really appreciate it your videos, and I like you voice:):)
I’m not very good with English, but your presentations are very easy to understand and I love as you give information:) thanks
Broccoli is King, queen,minister, soldier of keto,intermittent fasting.
Thomas what’s the difference between the Chromium malate and the chromium chelate? Thanks in advance!
Awesome:-) I never knew that… I have a friend who suffers from Insulin resistance… I’ll tell him:-) He can do his own due diligence… lol
eggs, broccoli, liver, avocado, sawercrout, kale shakes (with blueberries), nutritional yeast, milk cream, cheese, mushrooms, beans. we need these and a few supplements but if you don t eat these, you need more supplements.
Great video! Is it best to take magnesium in the morning, mid-day or at bedtime?
Read somewhere these type of supps impact liver/kidneys over long term.
fasting serum insulin of 10.3. How much Chromium to be taken daily to get the range of 3 to 5?
Do all the vegan extremists come here to argue and call names or what? Not everyone wants to be vegan just like not everyone wants to be Christian, so quit proselytizing and condemning everyone who believes differently than you, ok? Just accept that you live your life the way you wish and it’s not up to you to force others to follow you, your beliefs or your path. All it does is create more conflict. You’re not going to make ANYONE want to follow your way (the “right way”, according to you) if you insult them, that’s for certain.
I’m on board with everyone else…cannot find chromium malate…has anyone found chromium malate?
Ate a whole bag of Sun chips. Family size.
In one day.
#studentproblems
All those words being thrown around.
It makes my head spin.
All I want to know is.. Does Chromium lower insulin levels.?
The last couple of videos have been exactly what I needed to know! Thank you.
will this be good for hypoglycemia?? if it does stabilize my hypoglycemia issue, wouldn’t that kick me out of ketosis?
Doc can you please make a video on what I can take to help t4 and T3 resistance. I can take my thyroid hormones and they do nothing most of the time and I have to take so many different things to try and absorb them better. I’m sick of being lethargic, having pain, brain fog and being cold all the time etc.
Dr. Berg doesn’t vanadium also facilitate insulin’s entry into the cell? I take a vanadium / chromium supplement designed for this purpose. Thanks for all the great info you provide…….
Chromium after dinner helped with my night urination. I got my A1C checked but no where near diabetic.
Dr Berger great videos. can you explain if people should drink acid or alcaline water? thanks a lot, keep up the videos!
Hold on a second…Cookies are full with refind sugars and butter, lasagne is fulled with meat and cheese, fries are full of oils…Don’t you see sthg in common? These aren’t carbs, these are fats! Carbs are potatoes (without oil), brown rice, whole wheat pasta, fruits and the list goes on….Go vegan dude, you’re sexy enough for it 😉
Thanks for the tips. I will employ them on days of my cheat meals.
I didn’t know the google chrome browser is healthy! I’ll be sure to tell my mom it is healthy so I can use PC all day
I discovered a fantastic way to make carbs burn fat: you eat fewer overall calories, with any given ratio of carbs and fats. Once you are in a calorie deficit your carbs intake will contribute to burning fat! Works every time without fail, is backed up by decades of nutrition research and costs much less than whatever supplements this conman is selling. Any of these supplements have negligible to no real-world effects on actual fat burning. If you like green tea go for it, but if you expect any meaningful impact from it you are deluding yourself.
Where can we buy chromium malate? According to Dr. Weil, “Two forms are commonly available as supplements: glucose-tolerance factor (GTF) chromium and chromium picolinate.” There’s no mention of chromium malate. Do you mean magnesium malate?
Where do you find that type of Chromium? Or how is it spelled? I can’t find it on Amazon, GNC or Puritan’s Pride. Help!
Did you mean below 100 micrograms or milligrams at the beginning?
Hello, since I’m currently breastfeeding should I aim more towards the cinnamon/green tea?
hi; nice video! When he said steady state cardio burn fat, is it fat that u eat or is it fat like stored fat?
When to take it? I have a 10 capsule threshold. Trying to figure out when to take it for maximum effectiveness within 10 capsules.
Dear sir. I have read about chromium but please some doctor’s and Australian research shows consuming it can cause cancer. However chromium polunicolate and chelate found safer. Please suggest with new video which type is best and safe
is chromium good for both condition diabetes 1 & diabetes 2??
Hey dr berg, Dr Rhonda Patrick made a few interesting videos on sulforaphane and broccoli sprouts. Any thoughts on sulforaphane?
I do not think a person that eats carbs all day would benefit with only 100 mcg a day because chromium is very hard to absorb and I would say if you are type 2 diabetic and if you drink pop or beer everyday we should not take less than 3000 mcg a day.But if you have a good diet you can take the bare minimum but also you can adjust from day to day if one day you eat hardly anything you do not need high dosage of chromium but if you drink a six pack of mountain dew you need to take a good dosage and also over time when the chromium kicks in and a better diet kicks in you can reduce the amount of chromium to a 100 mcg a day.There is a reason for type 2 diabetics in the first place doc, and that is over consumption of sugar and human nature for the most part.
Spirulina and Brewers yeast have highest concentrations of chromium. Roughly 50mcg per serving.
Is the supplement chromium picolinate? Or is it the supplement that you mentioned in your other video gymnema?
I like this kind of health channel where it shows facts like is it there enough study or not.
Is it dangerous to take chromium picolinate by yourself in low doses? I take 750micrograms (3 pieces) and it helped me to loos 10 pounds, but I am not sure wether I can keep taking it.
You literally can not buy chromium malate anywhere. Chromium Picolinate on the other hand is in abundance. Where do you suggest getting it from?
What kinds of dosages do you recommend if you’re taking it in supplement form?
Dear Sir,
In veterinary medicine they have, mineral supplements….
We need the same for human beings….
Trace elements are needed same daily dose requirement….
Himalayan pink salt or saindhavalavana was used in Ayurveda for thousands of years..
All vegan I know gained a lot of weight; and even the in animal world, they are the biggest. Be vegan may not be for everyone especially if they want to have a slim shape and it is not doing for them, may the body be healthy but they may not be happy w their shape. Remember we are different, our environment is different! we are adults and we need to have our own judgment and make our own choices. it is awesome he posts his videos. we need information in order to decide for ourselves.
I cant find the chromium type you mentioned. can someone send a link please!!
Another interesting video, will this stop sugar cravings? also have you any ideas what I can take as I’m constantly hungry, thank you
Where can I find chromium malate? When I google it I can not find it. Could you send me a link where I cn get some?
I purchased 1000mcg of chromium thinking it would help me to stop craving sugar or suppress my apetite. I’m not a diabetic. Will it do more harm than good? I’m a vegetarian but eat more fruit than greens. I loose it and eat horrible junk food at night. Thanks!
Awesome vids as usual! Question: do green tea contain carbs?
Thank you for the sprinting tip! I have used it before, but I used different run/rest times. I will be using this tonight in my workout:).
Chromium Milate or Picolinate?..I heard there is a difference and it should be Milate?!?!?
Great info. I take magnesium every night before I go to bed to help me sleep better. Good to know it’s also used to burn carbs.
Up date this info please, Chromium research are Questionable. Danger in more cancer in humans. Yesterday news can be wrong update update please
The reason I post these videos is because this doctor Dr. Eric Berg helped me cure my blood sugar issue and I have lost 30 pounds in less than 6 weeks. As my family doctor said I will have to live with the blood sugar issues for the rest of my life but 6 weeks later when I went back to my family doctor he could not believe these changes I went from 600 blood sugar to 90 and now after I eat my blood sugar average is 120 I no longer have to take blood sugar medication I just take my vitamins Chromium + Magnesium + potassium and i drink apple cider vinegar before my meals I now feel relay good I don’t fall asleep and I am very energetic, If you have blood sugar issues just follow his instruction they are free and they will save and change your life to healthy living thank you Dr. Eric Berg
im a fat diabetic n just started taking 500mg of chromum piculate a day n my blood sugar has dropped big time
I have low blood sugar for years and I’m telling you Chromium Picolinate works for my sisters and I we all have low blood sugar no other meds for my sisters and I at this time. I am 66 now. My cousin was on high blood sugar meds and a shot at night some 24 hour shot. Now she is taking Chromium Picolinate for a year and is off all meds only the shot and she is doing so well more energy up in the mornings and doing all her own house work and yard work the meds the doctors gave her caused weight gain she has lost weight and feels so much better. we take 200 mcg before eating two to three times a day.
Go high carb vegan. Lose all the weight you want. Carbs are life. You need them to live. You don’t need puss filled dairy and nasty, bloody, dead animals. They’re cute when they’re alive, you know… #highcarbvegan
Where exactly does one find chromium malate? I only see piccolonate available
every time I take it I get sick.but I don’t have insulin resistance though I am diabetic.
Is it better to take 250micrograms 3 times a day (like morning afternoon evening each time 250) or to take 750micrograms once a day?
Chromium is always touted to be good for Hypoglycemics. Is hypoglycemia caused by too much insulin? Not enough Cortisol? Poor nutrition? Metabolic Syndrome? I need to watch this video again. I’m confused.
Holy shit. Why is everyone telling him to be vegan? Whatever he’s doing seems to be working for him. Last vegan I saw got fat as fuck eating all the fucking bread, salad, and Oreos he wanted.
How can I find the Malate? I bought percolate not knowing from another video that he had he just says chromium
i am shocked by the lack of commentary on how good looking this guy is. also yeah, go vegan and carbs are ok.:-)
Chromium fights insuline resistance, but the saturated fats and animal protein in grass fed beef and eggs stimulate it.
Is chromium good to take even if you don’t have diabetes and whatnot?
Is it better to take 250micrograms 3 times a day (like morning afternoon evening each time 250) or to take 750micrograms once a day?
Dr Berg, this really has helped a lot with my blood sugar. I take one 1000mcg per day. Do you know if i should be taking this continuously? I was also wondering, does taking chromium picolinate effect kidney function? This supplement is really miraculous, I just want to be sure it’s good long term
I been taking GTF chromium for almost 6 months, nothing happened. My suger reading still the same. I am confused
Where do you find that type of Chromium? Either I’m spelling it wrong or I’m not understanding what you are saying. HELP…
Thank you for the information. Both my husband and I have just received our blood tests back and they both show that we have a high level of Chromium = 15 ug/l….so what are the consequences to this please?
Really useful information sir,
Hope and trust you will continue to bring more awareness for with more videos for maintaining good health
I just tried this today. Last piece of the missing deficiency piece. I thought it was b1. But no, this is the ultimate last piece. Thank God for chromium
I read that if you use chromium you may develop diabetes, is this true
thats a lot of crapy information!
eat well workout well and you will get the result, stay a way from any pills
Is this good for hypoglycemia and trying to bring up blood glucose level?
Dr Berg, I really would like to know how much chromium and vanadium you would recommend for a prediabetic/insulin resistant individual like myself who has suffered from all the possible symptoms of insulin resistance since I was very little (I’m in my twenties now).
I currently take 2x Source Naturals Chromium and Vanadium supplements with each meal, I only have two small but satisfying meals a day. I will sometimes take another if I ever eat something a little extra during dinner time but never exceeding 3x a day. Mostly just 1x or 2x a day depending on how many meals I have. Per capsule contains 200mcg of chromium and 1mg of Vanadium, is this okay?
I have been following the ketogenic way of living since the 23rd October so almost just over a month now, and I am so thankful for everything you have taught me throughout this time. Thank you truly.
Is chromium kinda the same as (GDAs) Glucose Disposal Agents?
Can you do a new video on this wig vanadium and chromium and what type to buy and is this the cure or not. Need to know.
at: 50 seconds, you say improving insulin resistance? dont you want to decrease insulin resistance to the cell?
The info in this video is good, but the editing is terrible… constant pointless jump cuts. If you’re jumping from a medium shot, go to a closeup or long shot, not another medium shot. Otherwise it’s just irritating to watch.
Hi Dr. Berg,
I hope you will be able to answer a question I desperately need an answer. I have type 2 diabetes.Had it for years I let it get out of hand. Now I am trying to get it under control through diet, and exercise plus supplements. I’ve been steadfast on this quest.
My diet consist of NO grains,sweets, carbs, sugar etc.
I don’t think I ate this healthy in my life these past few weeks.
My sugar keeps spiking, very high. like 430, 260’s, 200 etc, I got it down to 160 spikes during the night, I could feel it spiking, couldn’t sleep,feet hurt. Anyway
I had surgery about 4 years ago a hysterectomy, ovaries removed, bladder sling, 2 other slings put in.
That’s when my sugar starting really going high(hair falling out too) and staying there. I’ve read on line where some people after this type of surgery developed diabetes even Type 1.
I am taking chromium/w vanadium, zinc, nascent iodine( experienced a lot of hair loss) selenium, even doTerra’s Ginger and Cinnamon (seems to work) I am going to try the Brewers Yeast.
Do you have an answer why this is happening? I can’t keep doing this, I refuse to take prescription drugs.I need to know why my diabetes is trying to kill me.
Thank you
Doc every time I’ve taken chromium supplements or multivitamins with it I get seriously ill. What is my issue here? Thank you
Thanks a lot doctor for ur precious information….
I’ve been trying hard to loose few extra kilos for quit some time but without any use…. following ur advise it worked…. Iam starting loosing weight
Sugar=fat
Butacium against sodium
Good fat
To fast….
Not to have snacks
Thanks a lot
Broccoli is a great source but remember if you boil it you lose most of the nutrients. I eat a little broccoli each day but raw so a smaller amount but full nutrients.
What are the chances of combining alpha lipoic acid n chromium
chromium by itself is worthless for anything! it must be combined with vannadium to work. chromium being the engine vannadium being the starter. without the starter you aren’t going anywhere. the same is for vitimans without certain minerals they don’t work. best to get everything you need from organic combinations of veggies and stay out of McDonald’s.
This just came after searching the chrome search engine that is called chromium. Coincidence because I like heath and science things…
Perfect. I’ve lost 135 pounds doing Keto and 3 of my staples have been broccoli, green beans and eggs. Maybe it’s helped me lose weight getting that extra chromium;)
can we use this if we r addicted on sugar but don’t have any sugar problem
Just don’t let a pc have it or it will get sick with malware (or at least the virus version of it, the open source one that you manually download is safe)
Just purchased GTF Chromium. Looking forward to the positive results I’ve been hearing about.:)
My “equate men’s daily” multivitamin has 120mcg per pill but this video says you only need 35mcg a day…interesting. I guess the extra is just not absorbed or peed out
the food you showed in the pictures are not carbs! they are mostly fat! real carbs are rice, fruit, grains and etc…. but not fried in oil like the french fries. you can hardly get fat by eating pure carbs. on the other hand cheese has cholesterol and growth hormons that make you store fat.
lol at 3:32 you said “the carbs that you accidentally ingested”.
…it was an accident, officer, i swear! XD
Some people need to stop telling others to turn vegan!! This guy is doing great!! Plus hes having a perfect body and people need stop telling him to go vegan lol we eat meats over thousands of centuries ago and i think we need both animal meat and also plants for maintaining a good healthy life style!!
The dose of chromium quoted in most papers I have seen is 1mg. To get that much from broccoli one would have to eat in excess of 8kg and that assumes that 100% will be absorbed. However chromium is poorly absorbed. Broccoli is the best natural source of chromium so eating other foods with chromium such as barley, oats, green beans, tomatoes or black pepper is not going to help. I hate to write this but I think the only solution is a supplement.
Thomas where do they sell Chromium Malate? Not sold anywhere on the internet bro.
Thank goodness others are talking about this as I have seen it help many times and I have reversed diabetes with it
Thanks Dr Berg, helpful info. I have heard that parsley is good for insulin resistance, can you elucidate on this?
What’s the difference between chromium picolinate and chromium malate?
Thank you sir… I’m accidentally here but it helps me out….I am depressed from a long time and even medicine doesn’t work for me.. thank you so much ❤️
