But they also make some generalized statements that more needs to be learned about the safety of chromium supplements; it is hard to know from their wording if they are just referring to the chromium picolinate supplements or if they mean chromium supplements in general. So who knows! If you do find out more about it, I'd be interested in what you learn!
