A member asked:
Can chromax tablet replace metaformin and is it much better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Chromax (chromium picolinate) is a dietary supplement. Studies have shown some modest improvement of blood sugars in diabetics, but it will not replace metformin and overall is not anywhere near as effective as metformin for the treatment of diabetes.
