Last Word – How about chromium supplements?
There are chromium supplements available in the market but these supplements particularly chromium picolinate, might cause damage to DNA. Taking excessive chromium supplements can also lead to hypoglycemia and stomach problems. Getting your chromium from whole foods is more recommended.
