• Stability: Stable under normal conditions, but avoid strong oxidizing agents and extreme pH environments.

Main Applications
1. Nutritional Supplements and Functional Foods

• Role:
  • A popular dietary supplement claimed to improve glucose metabolism, enhance insulin sensitivity, and support weight management (though scientific evidence is mixed).
  • Used in sports nutrition products to promote muscle growth and fat loss (controversial; efficacy lacks consistent clinical validation).
• Common Forms:
  Tablets, capsules, or powders often labeled as "chromium picolinate" for adults (typically 200-1000 mcg daily).
• Regulatory Status:
  • Classified as a dietary supplement in the U.S. (FDA) and Europe (EFSA), but health claims are restricted due to insufficient evidence.

2. Animal Feed Additives

• Use in Livestock/Poultry:
  • Added to feed to improve growth performance, feed efficiency, and stress resistance in pigs, poultry, and ruminants.
  • Believed to enhance carcass quality (e.g., lean meat percentage) in livestock.
• Dosage:
  Typically 200-500 ppb in animal feed, varying by species and growth stage.

3. Research and Pharmaceuticals

• Medical Research:
  Investigated for potential roles in treating type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and depression, though clinical applications remain experimental.
• Controversy:
  Early studies raised concerns about genotoxicity (DNA damage) in high doses, but subsequent research in humans has not confirmed significant risks at normal intake levels.

Safety and Regulations

• Toxicity:
  • Low acute toxicity; oral LD50 in rats > 2000 mg/kg.
  • Chronic high-dose intake (≥1000 mcg/day in humans) may cause gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea) or rare liver/kidney effects.
