Chromium picolinate may improve mood swings and more

 

 

Chromium picolinate continues to show promise for the support of

general health. Now a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted

on 113 subjects examined the positive effects of chromium picolinate

supplementation on symptoms of atypical depression.

 

The study was reported at the Conference of National Institutes of

Mental Health (NIMH) New Clinical Drug Evaluation Unit (NCDEU),

Phoenix, AZ.

 

Researchers found that daily supplementation with 600 mcg of chromium

picolinate improved symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue and

weight-gain perception; and significantly reduced carbohydrate

cravings compared to placebo. The results also show that people with

the highest levels of carbohydrate cravings had the most significant

reduction in depressive symptoms after taking chromium picolinate.
