Are Chromium Picolinate and Vanadyl Sulfate the same things?
No. Vanadyl Sulfate works by trying to do the same thing that insulin does. The idea is that if insulin is so important why not just take a compound that can do the same things as insulin. While there is some research to show that Vanadyl Sulfate does a good job of mimicking insulin, it has a dangerous side effect. If you feed your body something that does the job of insulin – over time the body might stop producing its own supply of insulin. Chromium Picolinate just makes the insulin in your body work better.
