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

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:
