Re: ACE

[Guest guest]

I " think " chromium picolate is a blood sugar regulator in general ie

can help with high and low blood sugar

I just started taking it and I think its helping (I have high blood

sugar). BUT I was in the health food store yesterday and in one of

their health books it says it also helps with low blood sugar.

I believe AI says on page 67 that it be used for hypo-glycemia (low

blood sugar), but also on page 112 it indicates it can also be used

for excess insulin (I think this is hyper-glecemia)??

I think its best to test adrenals first before taking a specific

treatment. I was sure I had low adrenals BUT tests came back high

cortisol with low dhea...so it could mess you up taking cortef if you

have in fact high adrenals or low dhea

Other people on the forum have more expertise in this though

Hi Barbara,

I use Allergy Research Group ACE which is 250mg per cap and take 1

with breakfast and lunch and plan to increase soon. It does not

contain any actual hormone, but provides support for your adrenals,

therefore theoretically you cannot take too much. I had to start slow

with 1/3 cap and titrate up. It did help with jittery/anxious feeling,

but as I said, I had to start with a low dose.
