Hi Helen,
I'm not aware of any interference between chromium and PD meds --
although high amounts of metals are not advisable unless under doctor's
care. With regard to brewer's yeast, none of my databases show a figure
for chromium, unfortunately. You should be aware, however, that it
contains 11 grams protein per ounce; if you are using levodopa, it might
be best to take brewer's yeast separately from meds. It's also a rich
source of iron.

Best regards,
Kathrynne
