Executive Summary
CHROMIUM PICOLINATE SELLERS MAKING UNSUPPORTED HEALTH CLAIMS, FTC said in proposed settlements with three California dietary supplement companies announced Nov. 7. The Federal Trade Commission took issue with claims that chromium picolinate supplements burn fat, cause weight loss, increase muscle mass, reduce serum cholesterol, regulate blood sugar levels and treat or prevent diabetes, and that most Americans do not get enough chromium, putting them at risk for potentially serious health effects.
