I’ve seen Chromium Picolinate advertised recently as a “metabolism boosting” diet supplement. Is there any merit to this claim?
No. Initially there was some speculation that since chromium is a component of the hormone insulin that additional chromium would enhance insulin’s ability to break down glucose. Research has not supported this theory.
