A new study has shown that Nutrition 21’s Chromax chromium picolinate is better absorbed by the body than other forms of chromium used as nutritional supplements and in foods. The results of the study, conducted by the Ohio State University Department of Nutrition, were presented at the Experimental Biology meeting in April. The study compared the absorption of four different types of nutritional chromium at a dose of 200 mcg in the form of Chromax chromium picolinate, chromium chloride, chromium niacin amino acid chelate and chromium nicotinate. Based on 24-hour urine content analysis, the researchers found that women who consumed chromium supplements absorbed a significantly higher amount of chromium picolinate, as compared to the other three types of chromium. Absorption of chromium from chromium chloride was found to be very low and not much different than baseline.
