Nutritional Herbal Supplement Safety and Health Diet

Is chromium safe?

Too much cromium can interfere with insulin function.

At very high intakes, chromium might encourage the growth of cancer; however, this effect remains controversial.

There is no known reason to consume daily more than 200mcg. of chromium.


How much chromium do I need?

No Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) has been established for chromium, but the estimated safe and adequate range is 50 mcg. to 200mcg. per day for adults.

The body's ability to absorb chromium might decrease with age.

A deficiency of chromium causes poor glucose (blood sugar) tolerance, a condition that has symptoms similar to diabetes.

Chromium deficiency can worsen the symptoms of adult-onset diabetes.
