You are part of site, so check out "Think Zinc" article, for more info if you want.
Chromium helps regulate Blood Glucose from memory.
The best kinds are Polynicotinate, Nicotinate and Chromate.
The worst one is Picolinate. I can divulge if you want to read the part in **, or just skip it

Chromium Picolinate was years ago, linked to Genotoxicity, (Mutation of human DNA), now science is proffering theories that that wasn't true, but science is not saying for certain it definitely isn't.
Originally in the 90's it was claimed to be one of those Muscle building, Fat reducing wonder supps, then in about 1996 this was debunked, forcing CP producers to remove all previous statements, that were proven medically and scientifically rubbish.
The original Genotoxicity findings circa 2001, also pertained to Hairloss, (I think, although it's now known to sometimes do that), and reports of Ovarian Cancer in Hamsters. Testing was indpendantly done, and verified / peer reviewed, by a Dr Ann DeWeiss Allen, as being sound, and she had at the time 20 years of medical background, awards, and some years of Cancer research.
Basic tests involved a brand CP, dosed at reccomended levels, to 3,000 people, to simulate a 5 year period.
A company called Nutrient 27 called this out, claiming it safe, but their testing was crap. 1,000 subjects only, dosed in 3, 6, and 12 month stages, how many of the 1,000 were used in each stage, not published nor were the doses to recollection.
Besides the Ovarian Cancer in Hamsters thing, throws up certain theories.
1. Hamsters given human doses, which means humans might not get any Cancer risk, or if so, greatly extended Foci to Tumour conversion time compared to Hamsters.
2. Hamsters given amounts in relation to their weight and size, this means translating that dosage into human terms, could potentially cause the same thing at the same rate.
Said dosage given to Hamsters I don't think was ever stated.
It has been linked to Hairloss, and it causes mild oxidisation in the Liver, of the Picolinic Acid, that seperates from the Chromium bond, which over a time period of around 5 years, was said to cause the aforementioned Genotoxicity.**
Frankly you probably get enough Chromium in your diet any, so I wouldn't be too concerned.
