Hi ladies, I don't know where you are or what stores you have close by, but...I got my GTF chromium at a natural foods store called "Nature's", the brand is "Solgar" they have a website and you can purchase it online, it is "trivalent chromium GTF" which is "biologically available". Incidentally, it is the one recommended by the Dr's Heller from CAD, I have had no adverse side effects and if you would like more info let me know. At Thu, 29 Jun 2000, Mary wrote: >
