In 1984, Thorne Research was the first to introduce zinc and manganese picolinates, followed soon after by the introduction of chromium picolinate.

PIC-MINS provides picolinate chelates and Thorne's exclusive Ultrachrome in a comprehensive trace-mineral product. It may be useful for individuals with musculoskeltal complaints, ligament problems and heel pain.

In our clinical practice we find that more people respond better and apparently absorb PIC-MINS better than comparable trace minerals.
