    I heard that very much is and can be toxic...picolinate being the most toxic...the only person I knew that took it for cutting did so at a dose of 200mcg per day...

    google: chromium picolinate toxicity- and you will come up with cases of studies showing it to be both toxic and completely safe...but if you do take it I believe the dosage should be lower...

    Bump for more answers...

    I read in the book, Optimum Sports Nutrition (by Dr. Micheal Colgan) that he supplemented with his athletes at range of 200-800mcg. You should be safe with this range of dosing. I have used 800mcg per day with no side effects.
