How much chromium makes sense?
The reference value is 40 µg a day. US labels often show 286 % for 100 µg because the US daily value is 35 µg – in the EU, 100 µg is 250 %.
Products here range from about 20 µg to 100 µg. If you take medication for blood sugar, talk to your doctor before adding chromium.
