Methods and compositions for the sustained release of chromium
Abstract
Provided herein are compositions for the administration of chromium that include at least two components: a hydrophilic chromium complex and a lipophilic chromium complex, and methods of using the same. Also provided are compositions for the administration of chromium that include a first “fast-acting” chromium complex and a second “slow-acting” chromium complex, wherein the first chromium complex is absorbed more quickly than the slow-acting chromium complex, and methods of using the same. Also provided herein are methods for treating, preventing, and improving conditions associated with cardiometabolic syndrome, by identifying a subject in need of treatment, prevention, or improvement of a condition associated with cardiometabolic syndrome, and providing a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a fast-acting chromium complex and a slow-acting chromium complex, to the individual.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A composition comprising:
a chromium complex comprising:
an amount of a fast-acting chromium complex; and
an amount of a slow-acting chromium complex;
wherein the amount of a fast acting chromium complex and the amount of the slow-reacting chromium complex are formulated to have a molar ratio of chromium between 1:10 and 10:1.
2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the chromium complex is a hydrophobic chromium complex.
3 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fast-acting chromium complex is hydrophilic and the slow-acting chromium complex is lipophilic.
4 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the slow-acting chromium complex is lipophilic.
5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fast-acting chromium complex is hydrophilic.
6 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the fast-acting chromium complex and the amount of the slow-acting chromium complex are formulated to have a molar ratio of chromium between 1:8 and 8:1.
7 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the fast-acting chromium complex and the amount of the slow-acting chromium complex are formulated to have a molar ratio of chromium between 1:4 and 4:1.
8 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the fast-acting chromium complex and the amount of the slow-acting chromium complex are formulated to have a molar ratio of chromium between 1:2 and 2:1.
9 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the fast-acting chromium complex and the amount of the slow-acting chromium complex are formulated to have a molar ratio of chromium of about 1:1.
10 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of a fast-acting chromium complex comprises a chromium histidinate complex.
11 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of a fast-acting chromium complex consists essentially of a chromium histidinate complex.
12 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of a fast-acting chromium complex comprises, chromium acetate, chromium chloride, chromium histidinate, and chromium nicotinate, or any combination thereof.
13 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first amount of a fast-acting chromium complex comprises chromium histidinate, chromium trihistidinate, chromium polyhistidinate, or any combination thereof.
14 . The composition of claim 1 , further comprising metformin.
15 . The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle.
16 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the slow-acting chromium complex comprises chromium picolinate, chromium tripicolinate, or a combination thereof.
17 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the slow-acting chromium complex comprises chromium picolinate.
18 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the slow-acting chromium complex comprises chromium tripicolinate.
19 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the slow-acting chromium complex provides a glucose lowering effect.
20 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the slow-acting chromium complex provides a glucose stabilization effect for at least 10 hours.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
