Frequently asked questions
-
Chromium has two EU-authorised health claims. It contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism — the normal processing of carbohydrates, fats and proteins — and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. These are the only authorised health claims for chromium as a food supplement ingredient.
-
Chromium Picolinate combines chromium with picolinic acid — a compound naturally produced in the body from the amino acid tryptophan. This form is widely used in food supplements because of its excellent stability and bioavailability compared to other chromium forms such as chromium chloride or chromium polynicotinate.
-
Consult your doctor before use. Chromium may influence blood glucose levels and could interact with insulin or oral antidiabetic medications. If you have diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, or are taking any medication that affects blood glucose levels, professional advice is essential before supplementing with chromium at this dose.
-
Each bottle contains 180 capsules. At the suggested use of 1 capsule per day, this provides a 180-day supply.
-
Each capsule contains Chromium Picolinate and a small amount of rice flour used as a capsule filling aid. The capsule shell is HPMC, a plant-derived vegetarian cellulose. No magnesium stearate, artificial colours, artificial sweeteners, or hydrogenated oils are added.
