Chromium induces glucose tolerance in the body. Black pepper is rich in chromium. Mushrooms are also good source of chromium. This information is shared after having read a book by some eminent american doctors. The name of the book is Healthy heart programme or something like that. This book also contains studies on insulin resistance.
thanks, i've just found the book "the healthy heart programme: how to prevent and reverse heart disease in three easy steps" tom monte, looks very interesting.
I just started with chromium picolinate. First day, I drank one tablet of 200mcg and one hour later my blood sugar dropped from 190 to 158. Im not drinking any other meds for my blood sugars just chromium so I can assess how much it works. So far so good, Im sure that with a keto dieat and any form of exercise it will help me get in the safe zone. I will be testing Gymnema extract also, its suppose to help even more with insulin resistance. I'll share my findings once I test this other product. Like Dr Eric said: Be patient, stick to your keto diet and with time your insulin resistance will start reversing.
@@rmv2213 my insulin resistance has gotten better. Besides chromium I also drink berberine, bitter melon and gymnema before meals. I jog every morning and do HIT exercise in the afternoon. Last but not least I follow a healthy keto diet and do 18hr fast twice per week. The key is consistency, my fasting glucose is now in the 130s (when it used to be in the 180s range)
@@ViajeSelectconsistency really is key. I did keto before. I exercised before. I fasted before. But never ever did it last over a few weeks. Now that I stuck to it for months, the results are crazy and the most incredible thing is I am enjoying it. I don't force myself to eat keto, exercise, or fast anymore. It's so easy, my body adjusted to it. My fat stores are gone. I have never been so slim and yet, never hungry. I take chromium for cravings and it seems to be working just fine also.
Chromium is a mineral found in low doses in many foods. It plays a role in the metabolism of nutrients through its impact on the hormone insulin. Chromium picolinate is the form often found in dietary supplements.👍
Dr Berg you left out the list of foods containing chromium picolinate. I looked through the NIH article thinking it may list them at the back, but it didn’t. I guess I’ll just google it. Thanks for your work, you’re awesome.

@@crystalv6122 dim helps to convert the bad estrogen in a woman, and even in a man into the beneficial form. Helps with weight loss. So helps with weight loss because having too much of that bad estrogen in the body tends to make you gain fat and less "sensitive" to glucose utilization in the body and proper metabolism of carbs and starches. I believe that's part of the explanation. But ask a qualified functional health doctor or nutritionist for more info....

Ste B Thanks for the feedback. I have a rare pancreatic disease that I’ve been working through naturally for the last 3 years. I might give this a try.
Another doctor I follow says that this form of chromium is highly absorbable but it also turns more easily into the hexavalent form of chromium in the body, which is the form that's toxic and increases oxidative stress in the body. This other doctor recommends the niacin bound form of chromium as it exists in nutritional yeast. For chromium is bound to amino acids. These forms are highly bioavailable and is less likely to turn into the toxic form of chromium in the body. Anyone else know about research on chromium picolate being more likely to convert to the toxic form of chromium in the body?
Mostly doctors suggest before lunch or dinner,but the directions on bottle says with food, personally my experience is my body guide me perfectly, initially i took before dinner but it gave me uncomfortable feeling so I started to take after dinner and yes it works.

you have to understand that trace minerals need other trace minerals to balance each other out and have positive effects on your body. Too much chromium and not enough magnesium, calcium, sodium, D3, K2 etc will cause side effects like PVs, fluttering, arrhythmia etc so make sure you have your minerals and vitamins balanced out.

Hey Doctor I have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I watch all your videos and they have really helped change my life. I have lost 60 lbs from 360 and staying steady. I have an 8 year old Autistic Daughter who is extremely picky when it comes to food. The only meat she will eat is Chicken nuggets. And basically peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches, popcorn, butter noodles, and sweets of course. We do good with limiting sugar and never once had a soda. But I am very worried about her overall health over time. We try and have her try other food but she rarely will. We give her a one-a-day vitamin but I know that dont do much. Could you recommend what kind of supplements you would give if it was your daughter?
High doses of Vit. D with vit. K2 is really good for your immune system. 5000IU s day vit D and 2000mcg vit k is what I take in liquid form from Amazon. Also Liposermal vit C 500mg and 200mg zinc and 100mg selenium. MY friends pediatrician recommended these doses for her kids and her.
Hi ☺️ Can I take it with Berberine? Berberine before meals and the other after meals ? I will appreciate your answer. My hair falls all the time and I will like to know if it will helps. Or should be better inositol and choline all together ? Thank you 😊

Chromium deficiency is very rare and the body does not need that much of it. This stuff can mess up your skin and make your hair fall out, stay away from it unless you control with your doctor first, please. I have been through it with this supplement.
Hi! Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics - you'll need to do a bit more research on this. - Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Doc, what is a good dosage for blood sugar? I got taken into Hospital in Dec 19 with Ketoacidocis, I went docs for completely unrelated issue and just asked her to do a diabetic test, I was 30. Her reply was "I don't think you're diabetic", anyway pee test confirmed I was in Ketoacidocis without even knowing, blood sugars of 28mmol. Hospital for three days on insulin, released from hospital on insulin, I don't take insulin, they still prescribe it. fast forward a few months and my HBA1C was 35. (it wasn't taken on hospital admission) follow up after that revealed again 36 HbA1c. I stopped eating sugar, period, no if-s, no buts. It was a scare it put me in hospital. Anyway, they now say I'm 'probably type 2' diabetic, but if I go exercise for anything over 30 mins, my bloods have dropped below 4.0mmol. They usually sit between 5-6mmol. Any idea what could have caused all this? I was told Ketoacidocis was mainly present in Type1. I'm clearly not T1 as I'd be dead now from not taking insulin. I don't take Metformin (that's not even prescribed?) I just eat better and take 1000mcg of Chromium, is this too much? Hope you see this, as many other docs I've spoken to couldn't really explain why and what happened what put me in hospital.
I have recently heard about glutathione but I heard before about chromium and these two supplements seem to have opposite effect? can you please elaborate on this? isn't that glutathione helps process better carbs for instance while for chromium avoids theses or helps the body not to process them for absorption ? thanks!

hi.I suffer from constipation and watched the video about constipation and applied it completely, but to no avail. Knowing that I drink a lot of 3 liters of water and eat fiber, how can I know that I need a treatment for intestines or colon treatment
I find Dr Berg's shop link very unuser unfriendly....hard to navigate around to look at supps. Anyone else?
Is it safe for kidneys and livers? Thanks for your response
Dr. Berg in old videos : - Hey it's me again 😁
You are my hero Dr Berg🙏
Doctor is black seed oil gud for NAFLD??
Do you have a recommended dose?
Hey Doctor I have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I watch all your videos and they have really helped change my life. I have lost 60 lbs from 360 and staying steady. I have an 8 year old Autistic Daughter who is extremely picky when it comes to food. The only meat she will eat is Chicken nuggets. And basically peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches, popcorn, butter noodles, and sweets of course. We do good with limiting sugar and never once had a soda. But I am very worried about her overall health over time. We try and have her try other food but she rarely will. We give her a one-a-day vitamin but I know that dont do much. Could you recommend what kind of supplements you would give if it was your daughter?
High doses of Vit. D with vit. K2 is really good for your immune system. 5000IU s day vit D and 2000mcg vit k is what I take in liquid form from Amazon. Also Liposermal vit C 500mg and 200mg zinc and 100mg selenium. MY friends pediatrician recommended these doses for her kids and her.
@@koolkitties8552 you really NEED magnesia together with vitD
One A Day vitamins are so bad, harmful. Please study up on good supplements for a child.
Hi ☺️ Can I take it with Berberine? Berberine before meals and the other after meals ? I will appreciate your answer. My hair falls all the time and I will like to know if it will helps. Or should be better inositol and choline all together ? Thank you 😊
Berberine and chromium both make a perfect combination for blood sugar control,pcos healing.better to take half hour before main meals.second inositol is awesome for ladies with All type of Harmonal imbalances.inositol is a life long taking Supplement with out any side effects.can take either empty stomach or better after lunch but don't exceed 2grams per day
Dr Eric Berg should have a video on supplements for insulin resistance? What you guys think about that?
My 15 years old son can take it ? He is diabetic type 1 and take insuline novorapid before every meal. He has put on weight everyday .
Hello. For children below 18 y/o, we suggest consulting a medical doctor before giving any dietary supplements.

@@Drberg thank you Dr for your reply
Interesting. Thanks for posting this. It's nice to be able to watch one of your videos and learn something new AND get a break from election news. 🙂
Nobody : election news? never heard of it, Im going to google that.
everybody : F^%& this
@@SimplyHuman186 😂😂😂😂😂
DR. berg what about Chromium GTF ❓❓
THANK YOU
Dr. Berg, how much and when should you consume chromium??
Chromium deficiency is very rare and the body does not need that much of it. This stuff can mess up your skin and make your hair fall out, stay away from it unless you control with your doctor first, please. I have been through it with this supplement.
Hi! Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics - you'll need to do a bit more research on this.

Doc, what is a good dosage for blood sugar?
I got taken into Hospital in Dec 19 with Ketoacidocis, I went docs for completely unrelated issue and just asked her to do a diabetic test, I was 30. Her reply was "I don't think you're diabetic", anyway pee test confirmed I was in Ketoacidocis without even knowing, blood sugars of 28mmol. Hospital for three days on insulin, released from hospital on insulin, I don't take insulin, they still prescribe it.
fast forward a few months and my HBA1C was 35. (it wasn't taken on hospital admission) follow up after that revealed again 36 HbA1c. I stopped eating sugar, period, no if-s, no buts. It was a scare it put me in hospital. Anyway, they now say I'm 'probably type 2' diabetic, but if I go exercise for anything over 30 mins, my bloods have dropped below 4.0mmol. They usually sit between 5-6mmol.
Any idea what could have caused all this? I was told Ketoacidocis was mainly present in Type1. I'm clearly not T1 as I'd be dead now from not taking insulin. I don't take Metformin (that's not even prescribed?) I just eat better and take 1000mcg of Chromium, is this too much?
Hope you see this, as many other docs I've spoken to couldn't really explain why and what happened what put me in hospital.
Did the 1000 mgs help you??
I have recently heard about glutathione but I heard before about chromium and these two supplements seem to have opposite effect? can you please elaborate on this? isn't that glutathione helps process better carbs for instance while for chromium avoids theses or helps the body not to process them for absorption ? thanks!
What!? you're allowed to upload videos at night? Dr.berg you just became Twice as good. :)
Best distraction to redirect us into paying attention to our OWN health, Dr. Eric Berg ❤
What chromium supplement (company) is best? Didn't see it on Dr. Berg's website unless missed.
Awesome Dr Berg, wonderful information, thank you for sharing 🙏
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg can you mention the dosage per kg of body weight and the duration to supplement?
Can't find the link for the foods 😊
How much mcg should you take daily?
So should we take this even if we don’t know if we have Insulin resistance?
.
You can
Handling insurance resistance directly handles excess DHT
Great video as always doctor Berg! I would like to ask is it better to take it on an empty stomach or with food?
Infact best after lunch and dinner with a gap of 1/2 hour.for double benefits take it with berberine.....
Still wondering about that
What about the supplements? How much should we take? Thanks!!

Sir,is there a supplements for chromium picolinate?
Is intermittent fasting a good primer for this treatment.Might put you into keto with better gains than can't fast with supping Chromium.Thanks Doctor Berg for another fine video, much appreciated.
Hello dr. I have a question. Chromium or Potassium is better for Keto. or both
Vanadium and magnesium as well
Brooks Read, Vanadium, an under appreciated micronutrient! It is amazing how many minerals our bodies really need. Cheers.
Dr Berg... Now you tell me
I've heard about problems of kidney with chromium, it's right ?
We can't expect to get chromium in the foods we eat. Soils are very depleted so plants are deficient as well as the animals that graze on pasture. Best to supplement along with the other 59 essential minerals
"Trace minerals" my friend with water. 72 naturally occurring minerals.
Are you saying that there are no food sources of Chromium or Chromium Picolinate at all?
@@anon9362 for a diabetic situation, supplementation is must 🙏🏾
@@HussRisingYT
I'm not diabetic though, I'm insulin resistant though (but I'm not sure if I'm pre-diabetic).
I take Sea Moss though, it supposed to have 92 trace minerals approx that the body needs. Hopefully I'm covered
@@anon9362 brother take my word, cut sugar down, if have insulin resistance. Chromium is very inexpensive, along with that take berberine and cinnamon daily. 🙏🏾
Had to learn it the hard way that chromium is not for those with a liver disease. Be cautious when watching videos like this and self diagnosing
What’s a safe dosage to take for insulin resistance ?

Patrick holford alleges 600 (3 x 200mcg?) Per day- Search "Patrick holford chromium" on youtube
See below
Thank you, such a coincidence! I just started taking it again two days ago.
Been using for over 1 week now and I have not seen any changes 😢
