Description
Chromium picolinate is a synthetic dietary supplement consisting of chromium chelated with picolinic acid, intended to improve chromium absorption. It is primarily marketed for enhancing insulin sensitivity, regulating blood sugar, aiding weight management, and improving lipid profiles. While some studies suggest potential benefits in these areas, the scientific evidence is mixed and further robust research is necessary to confirm these effects. The common dosage ranges from 200 to 1000 mcg daily. Side effects are typically mild, including gastrointestinal upset and headaches, but higher doses, especially in individuals with kidney issues, require caution.
