How much Chromium should you take?

SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.

1. Zone 10 to 10 µg per dayLow dose
2. Zone 210 to 30 µg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
3. Zone 330 to 50 µg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
4. Zone 350 to 80 µg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
5. Zone 380 to 200 µg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need

Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
