Thankfully I have not opened my bottles because I ended up buying Folic
acid at 400mcg (should take 800 mcg) but discoved Folic Acid 400mcg was
in 2 of my other pills I bought. So I can return that as my 800 mcg is
taken care of.
As for the Chromium. I got Chromium Picolinate 200mcg's. So, this
means 2 a day? What is GTF Chromium? Are they the same? I only found the
one above. I will do some more searching on it. I talk to the
pharmacist when I go. They are VERY helpful at explaining things.
