I take 200 mcg GTF chromium only before dinner. DH takes it at

breakfast also. I've heard recommendations that you should only take

400 mcg/day, unless you're diabetic, which I'm not, technically.

Mine is 400 mg and I take one with the chromium before dinner. The

bottle says take 1 tablet 3-6 times/day, before meals.

how to dose it?

There are different forms, and chromium polynicotinate is the

strongest. It's in the Walgreens brand.

Dr. recommends 1500 mg of B5 daily for adrenal fatigue. I

break it up into 300 mg with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime.

Some people do 500 mg pills 3x/day.
