Question 4

read the paragraph below and then indicate whether the athlete's statements are factual:
A strength athlete explains why he is taking a chromium picolinate supplement. He states: "Chromium picolinate is one of the best supplements to take. The picolinate helps increase the absorption of the chromium. Studies have repeatedly shown that chromium supplements increase muscle mass because more amino acids get put into cells. Chromium is a natural steroid alternative and helps with weight loss, too. It's one of the safest supplements because there have been no reports of side effects. My mom's doctor is having her take chromium to help her diabetes, because the chromium enhances insulin sensitivity. There is just not a down-side to this supplement."
-Chromium is a natural steroid alternative.
