In its safety assessment, the EFSA concluded that chromium picolinate has a large margin of safety, supporting its use as a source of chromium up to the maximum level established by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
EFSA’s safety review was in response to Nutrition 21’s application to market Chromax chromium picolinate as a source of chromium in conventional foods in Europe.
The safety assessment is an initial step in obtaining formal EU approval of chromium picolinate as an acceptable form of chromium for use in foods.
