Carlyle Chromium Picolinate Supplement | 1000mcg | 360 Tablets

Original Review: I have been taking this chromium supplement for a week and a half and noticing amazing effect on suppressing appetite, which is what I got this for. I noticed a big difference after few days of taking it, not from the first day, so I'd say give it a week to really feel the difference. The suppressed appetite is not because I feel bloated or full after taking this supplement. It is surprisingly comfortable. I just don't feel hungry or have that craving, but could still eat a small-normal portion each meal (about 300-400 Calories of balanced food) to feel like I ate plenty. I stopped overeating and snacking because I'm not hungry all the time anymore! So glad I found this product for such a reasonable price. Update 6/24/24: I have lost 4 lbs since I started taking this supplement all from being able to easily cut calories. I haven't been able to exercise at all and sitting on the couch most of the day because of my broken foot, so it really is the effect from this supplement. People have told me I look like I have lost weight and even in a recent video, I look slimmer than before. I gained back all the weight in the last 3 days from having to eat cakes, pizza, junk food, etc due to birthday, but I believe it is temporary from food and water weight. I comfortably fit one size smaller than I started this supplement and my stomach feels smaller and get full with half the portion of what I used to eat. Since I'm back to eating non junk foods, I should be able to continue my weight-loss journey. I have read that some experienced negative effect on sleep, but my quality of sleep has improved. Before I was struggling to sleep through the night and had such a hard time getting up in the morning, but now I get quality sleep and able to wake up early without an alarm. Will keep on updating until I hit my goal weight. Update 6/27/2024: As suspected, the weight I had gained back from birthday already dropped and I'm on my way to losing more weight. Today was my doctor's appointment for my foot fracture. He was pleasantly surprised at how fast the bone was healing. Initially he estimated it would take 10 weeks to heal at my age, but he is confident that I will be able to cut few weeks off of it! Surely I've been resting a lot, but I just looked up and lo and behold Chromium Picolinate regulates bone metabolism and prevents bone loss! Perfect for what I need. Update 9/20/2024: As in previous update, my foot healed faster than expected! Just forgot to update. The pain is much less but still lingering, of course, but now that the boot is off, I have started to add back exercise, counting macros (making sure I eat 90-100g protein) and meeting daily nutritional needs for the past 2 weeks, all while still taking this supplement. (I find Cronometer App to be super helpful) I'm only doing elliptical right now, for less impact on my still hurting foot and unrelated wrist pain, for 60 min a day 5 days a week, but I try to switch HIIT and endurance every other day, burning minimum 500 Calories from exercise but usually ends up 700+ Calories deficit per day. You would think I'd be starving and craving for food all the time eating 900-1200 Cal a day (I'm 5'1" small built) but especially after starting back with exercise, I feel even less hungry and often find myself scrambling to eat a lot at the end of the day to meet my nutritional goal. I do eat about 1600 Calories on my off days, but eating clean. Lost 5.6 lbs in 2 weeks! Planning to up the daily intake to 1500 Calories once I add back resistant training and more exercises. I decided to continue taking Chromium Picolinate since it is still helping with appetite and sleep quality!

I think this is great for the price and the amount of tablets you get (360). I usually can’t swallow pills, but these are so small and easy to swallow, which makes them even better. Since If been taking them I must say, I haven’t felt the need to eat anything sweet as much as I use to. So I would say it definitely works.

I have bought this brand Carlysle chromium picolinate 1,000 mg tabs a few times and before I ran out was sure to reorder. I am a carb addict, insulin sensitive & gain wt at the first smell of baking bread lol and am ATTEMPTING to regain a keto-vore lifestyle. Keto has helped me revert many health issues I have had, and after maintaing fitness for 15 yrs on keto, I became stressed & I went on a 5 month carb fest and got them all back plus regained lbs more than ever before. ughhhh. And I do take other supplements but I have noticed for myself that I have control with carbs when I take this chromium picolinate supplement combined with dnf-10 a type of yeast /probiotic and a complex of strains of pre&probiotic, there is info in online published scientific research papers & also forums when I did my research about chromium picolinate for sugar cravings and then later dnf-10 for carb control, help losing wt and regaining health in a safe way. Anyways. Its been a game changer. I know it works FOR ME cuz I have isolated each one and added them together & each time I did that combo struggling off n on carbs before vs going back to keto-vore was EZ and the lbs fell off slowly I'm stil on my journey but cravings gone. I don't feel that urge to stuff myself silly. I had no side effects, except losing wt and my craving for carbs, sweets gone in 3 days. And when I say carb addict I mean I could down a 1/2 gal Bluebell or a pkg oreos, etc etc I never felt full. I couldnt maintain keto unless I took 3 of the chromium in am and 3 of any supplement containing 500-750mg dnf-10 before I know any cravings will set in, 2x a day. Thats my anti carb craving stack that I adhere to for myself. Consult a doctor if you need to. The best thing to do is get blood labs, tests to show any irregularity and checked out before a diet change. Its nice to see things going in the right direction and having proof (labs, glucose, BP, apnea, etc) of it in writing.

I was taking 800 of another brand and had great luck with it as a new consumer. I found this higher dosage at a lower cost and figured it would work as well or better. I was wrong. While it does help to curb my appetite, I don't find it as effective as the other brand and will be switching back. This worked, just not as well.

UPDATE: 2 weeks later. Its still working, and I've gained so much mental clarity and its calmed my anxiety. I can actually go to the gym and want to go to the gym. I dont feel bogged down anymore, I dont feel like im always running on empty. Im able to handle everyday life and tasks w/o stress or exhaustion. I dont have cravings anymore. I haven't eaten candy in 2 weeks and didn't even realize it. I haven't craved soda. I haven't craved salty, sweet, tangy, chocolatey anything. Im content just eating healthy food. Im consistently completing 16 and 18 hour food fasts successfully. I dont normally have a lot to say about what I buy unless it's really good. I noticed a difference within 6 hours of taking the supplement. It really does an amazing job curbing your appetite and cravings.

It is a supplement I take with other supplements. I cannot report on the taste or nutrition value. It was reasonably priced and arrived on schedule.

It is great

Everyone is different, it worked for craving food and I lost 2lbs during the first week, but unfortunately, I started to have seconds effects not beneficial for me (vertigo, high sensitivity on the skin and teeth, anxiety not for food, and insomnia) so, I stopped. In my opinion if you take the supplement, will be better in the mornings because it gives a boost of energy. Don't expect to happen the same to you with my comment, it can have a different effect on you.

Controls my sweets cravings. No issues so far after 2 weeks of intake.

So good

The tablets are tiny for a start which is great and the price for a 1000mcg tablet can't be beaten with free delivery.

Good value product!
