Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Used as a source of trivalent chromium (Cr³⁺) in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and clinical nutrition applications
Supports glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, and macronutrient utilization
Commonly used as an intermediate for manufacturing organic chromium complexes (e.g., chromium picolinate, chromium nicotinate)
Highly water-soluble, enabling accurate micro-dosing and uniform distribution in premixes and solutions
Requires strict dosing control due to chromium’s very low daily requirement and narrow effective range
Not interchangeable with hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺), which is toxic and prohibited in healthcare products
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Tablets and capsules (very low-dose formulations)
Powders and trace-mineral premixes
Oral liquids and drops (highly diluted)
API intermediate for organic chromium compounds
Veterinary and specialty nutrition products (where permitted)
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Available in grades aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP / FCC (trace mineral specifications, where applicable)
Green to violet crystalline powder or crystals (hydrate dependent)
Freely soluble in water; insoluble in alcohol
Strict limits for hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺), lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury
Manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with batch-wise traceability and validated analytical testing (ICP-MS)
Animal-Origin Declaration:
100% non-animal origin
Free from BSE/TSE, GMO, and allergen risks
Manufacturing Support:
Supplied with COA, SDS/MSDS, TDS, specification sheet, assay method, and origin declaration
Technical support for chromium equivalence calculations, micro-dosing accuracy, and formulation safety
Regulatory and documentation support available for global resale, export, and international distribution
Suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty nutrition manufacturing worldwide, strictly within country-specific chromium RDA and UL limits
Important Note:
Chromium (III) chloride supplies only trivalent chromium (Cr³⁺), the nutritionally relevant form. Use must follow validated micro-dosing controls and comply with international chromium intake regulations. Hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) is strictly prohibited in healthcare products.
