Tri-Chromium, Glucose metabolism, 500 mcg, 90 Veg Capsules, Now Foods

Now Foods Tri-Chromium — 500mcg of chromium per capsule (417% DV) in three complementary, highly bioavailable forms (chromium picolinate, chromium amino acid chelate, and chromium polynicotinate), paired with 250mg of cinnamon bark, to support healthy glucose metabolism and insulin function. Vegan. Non-GMO. GMP quality assured. 90 veg capsules.

Why

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that plays a critical role in how the body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins — acting as a key cofactor for insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. Many people don’t get enough chromium from diet alone, particularly those eating refined or processed foods. Now Foods’ Tri-Chromium formula delivers 500mcg per capsule using three well-studied, highly bioavailable forms of chromium to maximise absorption across different pathways, paired with cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum cassia) for additional metabolic support. Vegan, non-GMO, free from all common allergens, GMP quality assured by NOW Foods since 1968. Note: take at least 3–4 hours before or 1 hour after thyroid medications.

Formula Highlights

• Chromium Picolinate — chromium bound to picolinic acid; one of the most studied and well-absorbed forms of chromium; picolinic acid facilitates transport across cell membranes; supports insulin receptor sensitivity and glucose uptake
• Chromium Chelavite® (Chromium Amino Acid Chelate) — chromium chelated to amino acids for enhanced intestinal absorption; the chelation protects chromium from binding to other dietary compounds that can inhibit absorption
• ChromeMate® (Chromium Polynicotinate) — chromium bound to niacin (vitamin B3); also known as GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor) chromium; niacin enhances chromium’s biological activity and supports its role in insulin signalling
• Cinnamon Bark 250mg (Cinnamomum cassia) — traditionally used to support healthy digestion and metabolic function; contains cinnamaldehyde and procyanidins which have been studied for their role in supporting healthy blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity

Warnings

Take at least 3–4 hours before or 1 hour after thyroid medications — chromium may interfere with thyroid hormone absorption. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, or taking blood sugar medications — chromium may enhance insulin sensitivity and affect blood glucose levels. Monitor blood glucose levels if using alongside diabetes medication. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
