Why Chromium?
Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a role in normal nutrient metabolism. It is associated with the action of insulin, a hormone involved in the metabolism and storage of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Adequate chromium intake is important for maintaining normal glucose metabolism. The Tri-Chromium formula provides a concentrated amount of elemental chromium in a single daily capsule.
Three Forms of Chromium
Rather than relying on a single chromium compound, this formula combines three recognized forms:
- Chromium Picolinate
- Chromium Nicotinate Glycinate
- Chromium Polynicotinate
Together, these provide 500 mcg of elemental chromium per capsule. The chromium is supplied from a total of 6,920 mcg of the listed chromium compounds.
Cinnamon Bark Included
Each capsule also contains 250 mg of cinnamon bark.
NOW Foods includes cinnamon because of its traditional use in supporting normal metabolic function. The formula uses cinnamon species including Cinnamomum verum, Cinnamomum aromaticum and/or Cinnamomum burmannii.
Simple Once-Daily Formula
The recommended serving is just one vegetarian capsule per day with a meal.
This makes the supplement easy to incorporate into an established daily nutrition routine without requiring multiple capsules throughout the day.
Suitable for Vegan & Vegetarian Diets
The capsules are made using hypromellose, a cellulose-based capsule material. NOW Foods identifies the product as vegan/vegetarian.
The formula is also listed as non-GMO, halal and kosher.
