Default Chromium question.

Right now I take a 400 mcg tablet of chromium a day right when I wake up with a multivitamin and multimineral. I wanted to start to take 2 a day. Do you take the other tablet pre or post wokout or does it even matter?

post workout is the idea time to take the chromium.

i take one 500mcg in the morning (7am) and one post-workout (about 3pm)

So much chromium. I think a safe dose it is around 200 mcg a day in the PWO shake.

There's no need to take it in the morning b/c your insulin sensitivity is already high in the morning. I usually take it with my PWO shake and my last meal of the day.

I thought it was taken PWO because insulin sensitivity is high, and this boosts it. Why wouldn't the same logic follow for morning?
