Chances are, if you’re taking a multivitamin, you are getting too much chromium.

Actually, taking any chromium is taking too much chromium.

Chromium is a heavy metal and is extremely toxic.

Chromium causes cancer.

But it’s still in many supplements.

I did some research and found it in quite a few multivitamins — like this one:

The amount of chromium you should take as a supplement is exactly ZERO.

So then why do they add chromium to vitamins?

For years, it was believed that supplementing chromium helps blood sugar.

The thinking was that you are less likely to get diabetes if you took supplemental chromium.

Everyone knows chromium is a heavy metal, as is nickel or arsenic.

But it was believed that chromium-3 was safe, even good for you.

They thought only chromium-6 was bad for you.

Now we know that neither is good for you.

In fact, the body considers chromium a deadly substance.

It has an entire sophisticated detoxification mechanism to get rid of chromium.

These researchers determined that when you consume chromium your body uses a complex process to detoxify and remove it.

Your body even worked to fight the supposedly safe chromium-3.

Chromium-3 is not essential and this binding is likely to be a natural protective mechanism against the toxicity and potential gene toxicity of dietary chromium through blocking chromium cellular accumulation.

It turns out that chromium side effects also include cancer — it’s very carcinogenic.

It’s been long known that chromium-6 is highly toxic.

Now we find out that the body turns chromium-3 into chromium-6.

This creates an incredible cancer potential.

And the issue is created with very little effort.

Fat cells that were given only tiny amounts of chromium-3 quickly turned it into the toxic chromium-6.

So the body increased the chromium toxicity.

And there is no doubt that this is extremely cancer-causing.

To make it even worse, an analysis of the supplements that contained showed dangerous things.

Many chromium supplements already contain toxic amounts of chromium-6.

In this study, researchers bought a bunch of chromium supplements.

They analyzed the contents to find out if they only contained the presumably safer chromium-3.

Or did they contain the toxic chromium-6?

What they found is scary.

Off-the-shelf dietary supplements analyzed during this study contained chromium-6 ranging from zero to 122.4 microGrams/gram.

The message here is that you need to avoid chromium and avoid any vitamin containing chromium.

Read the labels.

Do not use any supplement containing chromium of any kind.
