FDA to. Permit Qualified Health Claim for Chromium Picolinate

 

 

 

Following a review of scientific data, FDA will allow a qualified health

claim for chromium picolinate as it relates to type 2 diabetes. The claim,

as approved by FDA, reads, " One small study suggests that chromium

picolinate may reduce the risk of insulin resistance, and therefore possibly

may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. FDA concludes, however, that the

existence of such a relationship between chromium picolinate and either

insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes is highly uncertain. "
