Experimenting with chromium GTF is not for everyone

"These waters/supplements could be dangerous to those who take prednisone-type drugs and if you have diabetes, this is not a substitute for your meds," says Taub-Dix. Always speak with your doctor, especially if you're on any medication. "Supplemental chromium can also interact with certain medications, such as thyroid meds, antacids and proton pump inhibitors, steroids, NSAIDS and insulin," says Koff.
