chromium-power-output

The control group appeared to increase upper body muscular strength, although the placebo and chromium groups did not; practical significance of these results uncertain.

Supplementation of 964mcg chromium (as picolinate) daily for 13 weeks in older sedentary adults given a controlled diet and exercise program failed to outperform placebo in increasing power output or modifying urinary inositols (primary goal of the study), although chromium was well tolerated.

Supplementation of 924mcg chromium (as picolinate) in older overweight women also given resistance training failed to confer additional benefits relative to placebo.

Six weeks supplementation of 500mcg chromium as picolinate to otherwise healthy female softball athletes failed to significantly modify body composition or power output relative to placebo.

In older men given chromium supplementation in addition to resistance training, the benefits seen with training (and placebo) were not modified by supplementation of chromium at 924mcg daily as picolinate for 12 weeks.
