re chromium for weight loss there is no data to show chromium is effective in promoting weight loss the few studies that have been done using chromium have been very flawed and inher ently biased the investigators were making money from marketing it theoretically it really doesnt make sense either the claim is that chromium will increase muscle mass and decrease fat of course chromium is also used t o cure diabetes high blood pressure and increase muscle mass in athletes just as well as anabolic steroids sounds like snake oil for the s on the other hand it really cant hurt you anywhere but your wallet and place bo effects of anything can be pretty dramatic paul paul sovcik pharm d u of illinois college of pharmacy email u uicvm uic edu
