Especially if you weigh over 200 pounds. Chromium sensitizes you to your own insulin and tightens up the whole sugar/glucose management pathways. That is why it's included in various 'fat burners' and weight loss assistance supplements.
There was a single dubious study done on 'chromium picolinate' that claimed some kind of chromosomal damage but it's been mostly discredited. It made people come out with 'chromium polynicotinate' however and the experiment failed when it was attempted on that supplement - and the polynicotinate is easier to digest.
I have never seen the brown rice chelate before and so I don't know which of the above it is. Chromium is usually a yeast derivative product - they scoop it off of huge fermenting vats and process out all the desirable chemicals like B vitamins and so on. They turn the rest into Vegemite and various food enhancers (that 'autolyzed yeast product') you read about that are actually monosodium glutamate.
You don't need to worry
