Chromium

Chromium (Cr), in trace amounts, is an essential nutrient that supports glucose metabolism and insulin function. While beneficial in its nutritional form, certain types — such as hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) — are highly toxic and carcinogenic. Excessive exposure can harm the skin, respiratory system, and kidneys, leading to serious health complications.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
