Chromium Picolinate Ques.? - Vitamins & Supplements Message Board

I read in a magazine that Chromium would help build muscle. Everything else I find says that chromium supplements are used by people with diabetics. Im not diabetic; Ive just been taking it before I go to the gym. I cant see any results from taking the Ch. although Ive only been taking it for 3 weeks.
Was the magazine wrong?

I used cp in the past w/ limited success. It helped to retain muscle mass when u did not eat enough or not working out, i also heard it helps stabilize sugar levels and curb your sweet tooth. I used this 10 years ago. Make sure the brand name is reputable -can't go wrong w/ Twinlab.

I have never heard it mentioned in terms of building muscle (which doesn't mean it is not so). My understanding is that it helps the body metabolize sugar.

I took it for a year and the only thing that I noticed was colonitus that disappeared after I stopped taking it.
