Is Chromium GTF Water the Next Big Thing in Wellness?

While there is still widespread skepticism among many of the nutritionists consulted for this story, there's also openness to the possibility of benefits. Ashley Koff RD, CEO of The Better Nutrition Program thinks the benefits in regards to support for blood sugar levels are valid; though she notes that consumers shouldn't consider chromium GTF water as a replacement for a healthy diet. In addition, Koff recommends drinking water with lemon, which is an alkaline former that helps support healthy digestion and metabolism.

If you're exploring adding chromium to your diet, Koff also suggests doing it along with making some key upgrades: "Assessing your current intake of added sugar to see if you are within your budget is important and only then would I recommend trying this water — perhaps midday to help support better energy which can help keep you from a sugar choice at the 3pm crash."
