question about Chromium

["Sandy Terp" <hotspots@fast.net>]

Back when the carbo loading thread first started Ti had mentioned that the carbo dosing pre ride may in fact help prevent tie ups.  When questioned further he said it was probably because of the Chromium.  Would this be the same Chromium Picolinate that I take so I don't crave chocolate?  If so, how much would you give and if a horse has a tendency to tie up due to nerves is this something that would be beneficial?  At what dosage?  Just pre ride or on a daily basis?
