CrPic in Canada

Dr. McLeod,

I have just finished reading your book Lifting Your Depression and am interested in adding chromium picolinate to my diet to see what effect, if any, it may have on my depression. However, I'm a young woman located in Canada and am wondering if there is a brand that I can purchase here that you know is similar in effectiveness as the one you recommend. Is there a product that can be purchased from a Canadian retailer? I do not make much of a salary and would so appreciate your advice.

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely,

N V

ANSWER
CHROMIUM PICOLINATE (CrPic) is still pending approval in Canada. So you will not be able to buy it in Canada. I, however, have contacted Nutrition21, US maker of CHROMAX, a reliable brand of CrPic, and they have agreed to send you some bottles. Simply send me your physical mailing address and I will forward it to Nutrtion21, Inc.

Thank you for contacting me. Please let me know what effect CrPic has.
