What the Label Data Shows

Chromium Picolinate 500 mcg Timed-Release is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a mineral supplement built from 9 ingredients from GNC, sold in tablet or pill form. These ingredients span 4 nutrient categories, other, mineral, fatty acid, botanical, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 9-ingredient formula, 9 of 9 fall outside the FDA's Daily Value system altogether, expected for a broader formula -- the more ingredients a label lists, the more likely it accumulates botanicals, amino acids, or specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked.

Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2020-06-24. Off-market products are no longer being produced or distributed under this label, but the DSLD preserves their historical label data for researchers, consumers checking older bottles, and for tracking how formulations have evolved.
