CHROMIUM PICOLINATE ENHANCES ELDERLY MEMORY
Scientists at University of Cincinnati College of Medicine have established that chromium picolinate has the potential to boost memory in elderly people. For the placebo-controlled, double-blind study twenty-six older adults were recruited and randomly assigned to 1,000 micrograms of chromium picolinate per day or placebo capsules for 12 weeks. Those that received the supplement displayed improved learning, recall, and recognition memory tasks. The findings were published in Nutritional Neuroscience.
