Questions for smart people

In my current vitamin supplement (Avon's Men's Complete) I'm getting 240 mcg of Chromium (as chromium brown rice chelate). This supplement my mom just sent me has 200 mcg of Chromium (as Chromax Chromium Picolinate). Combined, that would give me about 350% of the USRDA of Chromium, in various forms. Do I need to worry about that being too much? Most of the information I see says I shouldn't worry if I'm under a thousand mcg a day. But I'm naturally worrisome.

You're probably fine... I take about 250mc.

My guess is you are ok too, but I have no specific knowledge. If you have no allergies to that mineral, the extra will just get pee'ed out regularly probably.
