Overview
Chromium picolinate (CAS 14639-25-9 ) is a chromium(III) coordination compound used as a bioavailable chromium source in nutritional and feed applications. It delivers chromium in a form that supports efficient absorption.
This makes it a preferred active ingredient for supplement and fortification manufacturers. In dietary supplements, it is formulated into tablets, capsules, and powders targeting blood sugar management and weight control products.
Animal feed manufacturers incorporate it into swine and poultry rations to support lean mass development and metabolic efficiency. Functional food and beverage producers use it to fortify products where chromium content must meet label claims.
Pharmaceutical-grade material is used in nutraceutical formulations where documented bioavailability and batch consistency are procurement priorities. It ensures that chromium content meets strict regulatory thresholds for safety.
Chromium picolinate is supplied as a fine, ruby-red to dark red crystalline powder. It is available in food-grade and feed-grade specifications, with chromium content typically standardized to confirm assay compliance.
This standardization is essential for label accuracy in commercial products. USP and FCC grades are recognized in the market for supplement and food fortification applications across various global regions.
