Results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics showed that Nutrition 21’s Chromax chromium picolinate significantly reduced hunger levels by 24%, food intake by 25% and cravings for high-fat foods in adult, non-diabetic, overweight women.
Researchers conducted the study at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the largest academically based nutrition research center in the world.
Participants who received chromium picolinate reduced their caloric intake by an average of 365 calories per day between their baseline and final (week 8) visit. “Participants receiving chromium picolinate did not report increased hunger levels despite significantly reducing their food intake,” said Dr. Steve Anton, investigator and lead author of the study.
The 8-week trial, entitled “Effects of Chromium Picolinate on Food Intake and Satiety,” involved 42 overweight adult women who reported craving carbohydrates. Subjects were given either Chromax chromium picolinate capsules (containing 1000 mcg chromium) or matching placebo capsules for 8 weeks. Food intake was directly measured at the research center’s eating laboratory at baseline, after 1 week and again after 8 weeks.
