What it is

Chromium chloride is a chemical compound containing chromium, a trace mineral. It is typically produced by reacting hydrochloric acid with chromium metal or chromium compounds. It is used as a source of chromium in supplements and fortified foods.

Why it's used

Chromium chloride is added to foods and beverages as a source of the essential mineral chromium. It is often found in dietary supplements, meal replacement products, and fortified drinks designed for nutritional support or energy enhancement.

Health notes

In the US, chromium chloride is permitted as a nutrient supplement. The FDA has not established a maximum upper intake level for chromium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated chromium compounds, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI). Research is ongoing regarding chromium's role in glucose metabolism and its potential health benefits, but evidence is mixed and more study is needed.

Allergen info

Chromium chloride is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
