Benefits and usages
Chromium is a trace mineral that enhances the action of the hormone insulin, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and assists in the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Supplementation can support healthy sugar metabolism.
Metabolic support. Trivalent chromium supports insulin sensitivity and helps cells take up glucose. Some studies suggest it can help improve metabolic markers.
Appetite and weight management. Preliminary data indicate supplemental forms such as chromium picolinate may modestly assist with weight reduction, body fat and control of cravings, though the clinical evidence remains mixed.
Natural food sources. Chromium is found in whole grains, lean beef, brewer’s yeast, broccoli, mussels, grape juice, Brazil nuts and dried dates. Cooking in stainless steel can also increase the chromium content of food.
Dosage, quantity and administration
Each bottle contains 90 capsules.
Suggested use: one to three capsules daily.
Contraindications
Vitamin B6. This formula provides 100 mg of vitamin B6 per serving. Prolonged intake of vitamin B6 at high doses has been associated with peripheral neuropathy — numbness, tingling or burning in the hands and feet. Discontinue use and consult your physician if these symptoms develop. Not intended for extended continuous use without medical supervision.
Medication interactions. Chromium can lower blood sugar too far if combined with insulin or oral anti-diabetes medication such as metformin. It can also reduce the absorption of levothyroxine.
High-dose supplementation can cause mild side effects and may place strain on the kidneys and liver.
