Can a chromium supplement clear teen skin and boost metabolism?

NCT ID NCT07371169

Summary

This study tested whether a daily chromium picolinate supplement could reduce the severity of dark, velvety skin patches (acanthosis nigricans) and improve the body's response to insulin in adolescents. For 24 weeks, 90 teens with both conditions took either the supplement or a placebo pill. Researchers measured changes in skin appearance and blood markers to see if chromium was effective and safe for this age group.
