Description

Chromium Dinicotinate is a coordination complex of chromium(III) with two nicotinate ligands, offering a bioavailable source of trivalent chromium. This compound is valued for its role as a nutritional supplement and a stable chromium source in various formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries seeking a reliable and consistent chromium ingredient.

Application

• As a key active ingredient in dietary supplements and multivitamin/mineral formulations.
• As a nutritional component in functional foods and beverages.
• As a chromium source in veterinary and animal feed premixes for livestock nutrition.
• In pharmaceutical research and development for metabolic health applications.
• As a standard or reference material in analytical laboratories for quality control testing.
• For use in cosmetic formulations where trace minerals are required (subject to regional regulatory approval).
