There is no scientific evidence that chromium Polynicotinate reduces insulin resistance.
You will not have any benefits in terms of reducing insulin resistance by using this .
So the best supplement for insulin resistance is doing regular physical activity ( 30 mins daily)
If obese or over weight lose 10 % of body weight
Reduce refined carbohydrates from your diet .
And if you want to take medication then Metformin and Pioglitazone are the best options available for reducing insulin resistance.
