I have been researching natural sources of chromium, but except from brewer
yeast, I haven't found many. Do you have any idea of what food is high in
it? Is the effect of chromium on IR really proven or not?
> Extra calcium
Not all people need this one though. Blood calcium is easy and inexpensive
to test, and should be done, since it's possible to have too much calcium.
Same with iron and potassium. My readings for both iron and calcium are
stuck at the higher end of the range, so I'm supposed to stay away from
supplements with them.

My general impression is that a lot of things that are high in iron
are also high in chromium. I did a quick web search -- result agrees
pretty well with this. Here's the site I found:

Thanks :)
Given that my iron is pretty high (ferritin at 218), it's likely that my
chromium is also high. I eat beef, chicken and eggs pretty often so that
should provide enough of it. I guess I will have to look elsewhere for my IR
;)

Here's an interesting article I found on the effects of chromium
deficiency:
