Chloride, recommended daily allowance

Trivalent chromium compounds (chromium chloride, chromium nicotinate, and chromium picohnate) are used by patients to enhance weight loss, to increase lean body mass, or to improve glycemic control. Drug histories should include attention to the use of over-the-counter nutritional supplements often regarded as harmless by the pubhc and lay media. The recommended daily allowance of chromium picolinate is 50-200 micrograms, but information about its toxicity is limited.
