> These results strongly support the hypothesis that the antidiabetic activity of Cr(III) and the carcinogenicity of Cr(VI) compounds arise from similar mechanisms involving highly reactive Cr(VI) and Cr(V) intermediates, and highlight concerns over the safety of Cr(III) nutritional supplements.

This should serve as a reminder that chromium supplements are likely carcinogenic and should therefore be avoided. The research is consistent. r-alpha lipoic acid may serve as an acceptable alternative for antidiabetic activity.

BTW, with this article in mind, is there any anything wrong with just eating small chunks of roasted coffee beans instead of drinking coffee? Of course one must take care to not OD on caffeine. And yes, they taste bitter, but so does coffee.

For any cooking, I personally rely on lite salt which has a mix of sodium and potassium chlorides.

The Morton Lite Salt product meets this requirement. It also lacks questionable additives such as dextrose and cyanide which various other brands contain. As a bonus, it is also iodized, although I still supplement iodine anyway.

It's not better for you if you're tired all the time. If your iron is low, you might try heme iron pills. Humans have two transporters for iron: an elemental transporter and a heme iron transporter.

IMHO, the dose of 400 mg twice daily (800 mg total) is too low. A better dose might have been 2.5 g once or maximally even twice daily. Even so, the dose used improved heart rate recovery by 16% and lactate recovery by 28%.

For what it's worth, I have been taking a pomegranate powder product daily which I like. Some other pomegranate products caused diarrhea, probably because they included the peel too, but not this one in its suggested dose.

I also like a pomegranate concentrate, although it's high in natural sugar.

(I have no conflict of interest.)

I see that EMIQ is actually available as a supplement, and has some user reviews too.

Disclaimer: I am not necessarily advocating its use.

depends on the olive oil. hydroxytyrosol (and total phenolic content) varies immensely depending on variety, time of harvest, growing conditions, etc. Hydroxytyrosol content is anywhere from 10 - 400 mg/kg according to this study - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4665486/

alternatively you can buy a product like this https://www.amazon.com/Hydroxytyrosol-Extreme-ProHealth-vegetarian-capsules/dp/B008CQGMVK
