Hi,
The previous night with Chromium Pico BP was 185/81 with no exercise at all - just moving around the house! I felt my heart will give up or I will have a stroke and I was resting in the bed every 1 hour of desk work at home to avoid overstraining my heart.
I did not take this sh*t yesterday and my BP was still high around 145/85 as the body was still working out this toxic out. Also, I managed to get into Gym! unlike the other two days! However, I just managed to get on in the Gym with weights upto 90 lbs on inclined free bench press.... but got exhausted soon. With just 5 minutes on treadmill I was tired. (Normally, I do 140 lbs without much exhaustion with several repetitions and go on for 45 minutes of heavy rapid endurance exercises like Fully inclined treadmill jog coupled with weights. I used to get speeds upto 11 miles per hour far higher than other persons.) Also, yesterday, I had headache all day. I drank water and had greens throughout the day to flush the toxic. Today is second day of abstinence from Chromium Pico, I feel much better. Only mild headache today, BP normal 118/85 with pulse at 78 - 20 minutes after 15 minute jog in the cold. Energy is up. Brain is clearly thinking.. no confusion..good focus has returned. I am taking a lot of greens and fruits today No palpitations, no pain, no urge for taking sugar. I feel like 100% better than the two days with Chromium Pico. My advise please check the labels of your supplement and check the dosage. Chromium could be good at 25 mcg but toxic at 400 mcg or 200 mcg particularly in Picolinate form. Further, I took the liquid form that gets into your blood like a bolt of lightning. I checked further most of the labels of my Gaspari sports nutrition and none have this Chromium Pico to bes sure. I had them today and feel just fine and strong with them. I take Gaspari as the owner Rich Gaspari is a body builder and does not produce b*llsh*t products just to make money. DO you research and you will find that Chromoum Pico can damage your chromosomes (tested on mice) and combining this element with Picolonic Acid is not good. Also, the need for Chromium as a supplement at higher amounts is debatable. Also, read episodes of hypoglycemia of other persons through google search. My BP is normal, headache is almost gone and energy is Up and I thank God. Now, can any one advise me how to sue the manufacturer as I just escaped a heart collapse or organ failure!! I intend writing to FDA to ban or control the dosage especially in normal Multivitamins sold in OTC!! This manufacturer is advising half the dosage i.e. 100 mcg for kids.....the kids will surely collapse within a week!
