Answer:	s corn used in the formulation of the vegetable capsule?Marie C. Poling asked on February 6, 2014
Question:	Where are there made
Answer:	Says manufactured by the company which is located in New Jersey. Go to their website or call 1-877-SOLGAR 4 for more info.

I remember back in the day when the active ingredient for "Claritin" was imported and big pharma marked up the price 32,000% to sell here in the USA.)
Question:	are they capsules? What color are they? are they big
Answer:	They are capsules. About 3/4" long, 1/4" diameter. I call this "medium" size. The capsule is clear with white powder inside. The material is intended to improve the ratio between LDL and HDL. Of course you won't feel this, only a lipid profile blood test will determine the result.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it vegan
Answer:	I enlarged the label and yes, it is vegan.
Question:	Does this item come in a glass container or plastic
Answer:	Glass Container
Question:	Is this product USP verified
Answer:	USP Water Purification System. Solgar invested over $1 million in a state-of-the-art USP reverse osmosis water purification system - widely considered the finest type of filtration available. This isn't required by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), but the Solgar Gold Standard™ requires that we have the best system possible. Since the Solgar site does not state "certification" I can only assume from the above information that it must be. But you can check the site to determine this for yourself. It does appear that they use USP standards.

Product description

Chromium is a trace mineral that plays an important role in glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as enzyme activation. Optimal levels of chromium promote healthy carbohydrate and fat utilization. ChromeMate has been clinically studied for its potential role in supporting healthy body composition when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. One study showed that when combined with modest diet and exercise, ChromeMate supported lean body composition in overweight women. A similar study at Georgetown University also suggested that ChromeMate may support lean muscle mass in overweight women. The potential for ChromeMate to promote Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) activity accounts for its role in maintaining healthy glucose metabolism and supporting body composition.

• Weight Management** Support: Research showed that when combined with modest diet and exercise, ChromeMate supports a healthy body composition in overweight women.*
• Metabolism Support: Chromium, a critical component of the Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) activity accounts for its roles in maintaining healthy glucose metabolism and supporting healthy body composition.*
• Enhanced Support: ChromeMate provides all the benefits of chromium, enhanced with the additional benefits of nicotinic acid.*
• Pure Quality: Our supplements are made with only premium ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers and guided by our nutritional experts, then carefully manufactured and tested to verify their potency and purity.
• Pure Difference: What makes us different isn't just our process or what goes into our supplements -- what we leave out matters, too. All Pure Encapsulations products are FREE FROM many common allergens like wheat, eggs, tree nuts & peanuts, gluten, artificial colors, flavors & sweeteners, coatings and shellacs, GMOs, unnecessary binders, fillers & preservatives, and more.

User questions & answers

Question:	How big are the tablets? Are they hard to swallow? thanks
Answer:	Yes they are difficult to swallow. I've been taking these for 8 years and Solgar upped the dosage milligrams to 420 in early 2020. The tablets are much larger and very difficult to swallow. Interestingly, many stores have stopped carrying them recently due to customer complaints and returns. Hopefully, Solgar will go back and begin manufacturing the 400 mg dosage again as that size was much easier to swallow. In the meantime, I'm using other brands.
Question:	how many migs
Answer:	Two tablets are 400 mg. Each tablet is about 3/4 inch long. Tablets are somewhat coated so they don't stick going down.
Question:	How many mg in each tablet
Answer:	210 mg magnesium from magnesium citrate per tablet (recommended serving of 2 tablets is specified as 420 mg). To those discussing the amount of magnesium citrate itself in this supplement--true, it is not specified, but since magnesium citrate is 11.23% magnesium w/w (Wikipedia), one can expect this supplement contains 1,870 mg total magnesium citrate (210/11.23%). Beware that many references refer to doses of magnesium citrate in terms of the mg of magnesium in the magnesium citrate, just as it's specified on this label. Taking 210 mg of total magnesium citrate would not provide a therapeutic dose of magnesium (it would provide less than 24 mg magnesium). This supplement also contains an undisclosed amount of magnesium stearate, which is listed under "other ingredients".
Question:	If you don't start showing the back of the label we are not going to buy supplements on Amazon
Answer:	Label information is always available on www.Solgar.com or please follow this link: http://www.solgar.com/SolgarProducts/Magnesium-Citrate-Tablets.htm

Question:	Is this product USP tested
Answer:	Yes
Question:	The image says picozinco... the description says zinc picolinate. did somebody goof
Answer:	Not sure what happened on that, but that is Italian. Could be that seller. Solgar in in the U.S. You can get chelated zinc too, very similar to picolinate. Solgar is a good company, have been using them for years.
Question:	what is the amount of Elemental zinc in 22mg
Answer:	Ooh! A chemistry question! Zinc Picolinate (C12H8N2O4Zn) has a mass of 309.6 g/mol. Since the mass of elemental Zinc is 65.39 g/mol, this means that Zinc Picolinate is comprised of approximately 21.12% Zinc. Therefore, 22mg of Zinc Picolinate should contain approximately 4.65mg of elemental Zinc (22mg x 21.12%). 😉
