Health note: This page is educational and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. Supplements can interact with medicines and may not be appropriate for everyone. If you use glucose-lowering medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, discuss supplements with a qualified health professional.

What NCCIH says
NCCIH includes chromium among supplements for which some studies suggest possible benefit, while stressing that the overall research has limitations and does not support clear conclusions.
More is not automatically better
