> Yeah, the articles I read all said that the problem was with the picolinate, but this recent study was done with picolinate. How do you know how much is safe? Cecilia

Picolinic acid is a minor metabolite of tryptophan. It's only ever found in the body in trace amounts. It's possible that it overloads a system never meant to handle high concentrations of the chemical.

Chromium is also a rather reactive mineral. For some reason, the combination of chromium and picolinic acid is worse than either one alone. It may not be safe to use them together. That said, the risk is small. But why chance it? There are other chromium supps to consider.
