Chromium Picolinate- basically chromium bonded to picolinate acid.
this acid is found in breast milk and allows human babies to absorb more metals such as zinc and in the case of this suppliment chromium.

Why would this product be brought under question? well lab results show that it causes quicker decay in animal cells or mutations they think suggest may lead to cancer? Any idea how this is or if this is valid?
