Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
39 words
A method of providing chromium supplementation to mammals, comprising administering in oral dosage form an effective amount of a chromium-nicotinate GTF material obtained by contracting an alkali metal salt of nicotinic acid with a pharmaceutically acceptable trivalent chromium salt.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
39 words
A method of providing chromium supplementation to mammals, comprising administering in oral dosage form an effective amount of a chromium-nicotinate GTF material obtained by contracting an alkali metal salt of nicotinic acid with a pharmaceutically acceptable trivalent chromium salt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the chromium-nicotinate GTF material comprises a mixture of chromium trinicotinate and chromium dinicotinate monochloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the chromium-nicotinate GTF material consists essentially of chromium trinicotinate.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
44 words
A method of providing chromium supplementation to a mammal for the purpose of improving glucose tolerance, comprising administering an effective amount of a chromium-nicotinate GTF material to the mammal, wherein the chromium-nicotinate GTF material is obtained by reacting sodium nicotinate with trivalent chromium chloride.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
44 words
