By the way chromium picolinate is dirt cheap.

$7.90 for 250 or 360 tablets on amazon. Get the tablets not capsules. Anyone taking any kind of supplements should know that you can't trust capsules to dissolve in your stomach before they get s*** out your a*******. Take the tablet which break down immediately in your stomach. Plus capsules are full of all kinds of fillers. If you buy the tablets you'll see that they're just the tiniest pill you ever saw but if you buy the capsules they're obviously full of a bunch of crap. And I believe this article or some other article I read said that 200 micrograms a day that's 200 MCG was the proper dose for typical human to replicate the same levels they used in the rat studies. It's a little hard to find doses that are less than a thousand these days but the 200 MCG used to be pretty common.
