I, however, have been using another form of chromium - GTF chromium. Nevertheless, I will do a little research to make sure I am not using something that may cause problems. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Tamara-Yes, I'd seen the posts on niacinimide above and found them very interesting. If your mom and people here are having good results with it reducing their anxiety, I'm definitely interested in checking it out!
Also, it turns out that the specific type of chromium supplement that the article I mentioned (above) warns about is chromium picolinate. But they also make some generalized statements that more needs to be learned about the safety of chromium supplements; it is hard to know from their wording if they are just referring to the chromium picolinate supplements or if they mean chromium supplements in general. So who knows! If you do find out more about it, I'd be interested in what you learn!
Thanks,
Marley
