Chromium picolinate is a bright red solid that is the chromium (III) salt of picolinic acid. It is a nutritional supplement used to prevent or treat chromium deficiency. Small quantities of chromium are needed for normal health, but deficiency is rare in developed nations.
Numerous commercial organizations promote chromium picolinate as a treatment for a variety of health problems. Most notably, it is promoted as an aid in weight loss. However, scientific investigation has not been able to support these claims. For example, a clinical study performed by Naval Health Research Center (Trent, 1995) found that chromium picolinate was ineffective at lowering body fat or aiding in weight loss.
