Chromium (Cr) is a hard, silvery metal which is a naturally occurring element.[1] Chromium is an essential trace element in human nutrition because it enables glucose to be used. In large quantities it is toxic.[1]
ME/CFS[edit | edit source]
No clinical trials have been carried out using chromium supplements for chronic fatigue syndrome or ME.[2] In 2002, Sierpina et al. suggested that 200 mcg of chromium picolinate (taken with meals) may have the potential to reduce any reactive hypoglycemia that may aggravate symptoms.[2]
