"My name is Christine Marquette, and I'm a registered dietitian with the Austin Regional Clinic. And I'm going to talk to you about using chromium picolinate for weight loss. There have been a lot of studies on chromium picolinate for various reasons. Some studies have been done to see if it will actually improve the function of insulin in the body, others have been done to see if it will actually cause weight loss. And unfortunately none of these studies have yielded good results. There has been a lot of conflicting studies, some show a modest benefit, others show no benefit at all. Some of the original hypotheses on why these studies have even taken place is because some people have the thought that chromium picolinate could help improve the function of insulin. Make your body more effective at using insulin, thereby actually increasing serotonin levels. And once serotonin levels go up often your appetite goes down, so you end up consuming fewer calories. Again this hasn't actually panned out in research. Another hypothesis is that chromium picolinate would actually improve fat production, it would cause your body to make fat more efficiently. Thereby avoiding over producing fat, so again another method of weight loss. But again, this actually hasn't panned out in studies. This hasn't actually been proven. And then another hypothesis is that it would actually increase your overall metabolic rate, but once again when the research has been done it actually hasn't proved true. So, so far none of the studies that have been done with chromium picolinate actually have show it to improve weight loss. So at this point chromium picolinate is not a good supplement to use for weight loss."
