Hi
This is a direct follow on from my question earlier,
http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=85419.msg309304#msg309304

But now i am also interested in Chrom Picolinate and Chrom

Same questions as before:
_1 ) I am looking for a preferably not to technical descriptions of what sort of “things" they are
And
_ 2 ) Do they have an approximate Kcal per 100g?
_....

I believe that i can safety say that Chrom as a simple Mineral and has no Kcal, so i just list it with my other Minerals ?
But i am wondering if
_1 ) Chrom Picolinate is close enough to Chrom ( for a non Chemist like me ) to be listed alongside the Minerals ?
And / but / or
_2) If there may however be any Kcal per 100g  associated with  Chrom Picolinate. ( In a current Nutritional supplement have I am looking at a ratio of approx  8 : 1 for  Chrom Picolinate : Chrom. So in my ( naive un Chemist ) head  I am wondering what the “extra” is and if this could contribute to some Kcal

Thanks once again,
Again no rush on this one

Hi AWK,
 Thanks for the reply
 I did a Google / wiki type search. But had not, I think, hit that Particular Link. Thanks for that.
 Some of the general Info there looks familiar to what i have seen elsewhere.
 The technical info is a bit beyond me. I see no way to get at the general Nutritional info i wanted, ( Kcal per 100g and a very general idea of the “type of thing it is , ( _.... Vitamin, fat, acid etc.  – info such as i was able to get from this  Forum in this thread:
http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=83937.msg304488#msg304488
_... ) )

 I will keep looking.
 Thanks again for the reply

Yes, i have a very daunting and mammoth task trying to see through all the myths surrounding these supplements.
Not a job I wanted
But i will keep at it and If i get any further i will feedback!

Daily chromium intake is about 0.2 miligram for adult peoples. At more amounts it will be toxic. Only about 1 % is absorbed from digestive tract. This is a mean value. And this is very dangerous because some people may absorb a few times more.

I am seeing figures of 40 micrograms, to about 200 micrograms. I think the supplements I envisage taking will not take me over the 200 micrograms / 0.2 milligram limit. I will try to keep track on that, maybe set a maximum of about 100 micrograms . Thanks for the warning.
