> Thanks for your response. Have you happened to follow thr research like that shown at http://www.nutrition21.com/Science/ResearchSummaries/depression.aspx ? I'd be interested in your reaction. --L.W.
I still think that's a lot of chromium. The thing is, researchers often give high doses of e.g. chromium for short periods to boost the sensitivity of their study to treatment effects....it's a cost-effectiveness issue, not directly related to proving the best management practises.
What you may find useful is to apply the symptoms they specify to you, personally. If you feel an intuitive identification with the presenting symptoms of the particular depressives targetted in those studies, then it makes sense to try chromium supps...
There are all sorts of reasons why depression might exist in an individual person. Depression is a symptom, not a disease in its own right. If you can somehow "tune in" to the most appropriate therapies, by considering symptom clusters especially, you're more likely to find something that works for you. Nobody knows you better than you....and you can use that to your advantage.
