I'll tell you for sure that Chromium Picolinate is garbage. It caught on heavy in the mid to late 90's as a popular supplement but time has shown it to be very ineffective, about as ineffective as Colostrum.
That's why it's so cheap. CLA is a better choice.

The problem, dear, is that no one knows for sure. The nutritional supplements like this do not have to go through the trials that drugs have to go through in order to get approved. There are no reliable, broad-based studies that show whether chromium picolinate does or does not work. Anyone who claims to be able to tell you for sure is either selling c.p. or speaking from anecdotal evidence, not from a proper, placebo-controlled, double-blind study which is the proof that is generally needed for someone to "know for sure" whether a neutraceutical or drug works. Sorry I didn't have a simple yes or no answer for you. The only thing proven to help boost metabolism is increasing your muscle mass.
