Abstract
Compositions comprising chromic tripicolinate or chromic polynicotinate in the form of enteric-coated tablets, capsules or microbeads, optionally in combination with nicotinic acid, picolinic acid or both nicotinic acid and picolinic acid. The compositions are useful for supplementing dietary chromium, lowering blood glucose levels, lowering serum lipid levels and increasing lean body mass.
Claims46
A composition for supplementing dietary chromium and facilitating absorption of essential metals, said composition consisting essentially of chromic tripicolinate in combination with nicotinic acid.
A method for supplementing dietary chromium in an individual in need of enhanced dietary chromium, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition comprising chromic tripicolinate in combination with picolinic acid.
A method for supplementing dietary chromium in an individual in need of enhanced dietary chromium, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition consisting essentially of chromic tripicolinate in combination with nicotinic acid.
A method for reducing hyperglycemia and stabilizing serum glucose levels in an individual in need of reduced and/or stabilized blood sugar, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition comprising an effective daily hyperglycemia-reducing amount of chromic tripicolinate in combination with picolinic acid.
A method for reducing hyperglycemia and stabilizing serum glucose levels in an individual in need of reduced and/or stabilized blood sugar, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition consisting essentially of an effective daily hyperglycemia-reducing amount of chromic tripicolinate in combination with nicotnic acid.
A method for increasing lean body mass and reducing body fat of an individual in need of increased lean body mass and reduced body fat, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition comprising an effective, lean body mass-increasing amount of chromic tripicolinate in combination with picolinic acid.
A method for increasing lean body mass and reducing body fat of an individual in need of increased lean body mass and reduced body fat, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition consisting essentially of an effective, lean body mass-increasing amount of chromic tripicolinate in combination with nicotinic acid.
A method for reducing high levels of blood serum lipids in an individual in need of reduced blood serum lipids, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition comprising an effective, lean body mass-increasing amount of chromic tripicolinate in combination with picolinic acid.
A method for reducing high levels of blood serum lipids in an individual in need of reduced blood serum lipids, comprising orally administering to said individual a composition consisting essentially of an effective, lean body mass-increasing amount of chromic tripicolinate in combination with nicotinic acid.
