Chromium Picolinate USP
Abstract
Chromium picolinate is a chemical compound sold as a nutritional supplement to treat type 2 diabetes and promote weight loss. This bright-red coordination compound is derived from chromium (III) and picolinic acid. Small quantities of chromium are needed for glucose utilization by insulin in normal health, but deficiency is extremely rare and has only been observed in hospital patients on long-term defined diets.
Use/Application
Chromium picolinate is used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, although its effectiveness remains controversial due to conflicting and/or poorly carried out clinical studies. It as an aid to body development for athletes and as a means of losing weight, but a number of studies have failed to demonstrate an effect of chromium (III) picolinate on either muscle growth or fat loss.
