Chromium

Chromium is a recognised nutrient with a European Nutrient Reference Value, which means its content must be declared per portion on the label and expressed as a percentage of that reference intake.

Approved claims for Chromium

These statements are shown in the exact wording approved for Chromium under EU and GB nutrition and health claims registers.

  • Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.
  • Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Forms and what appears on a label

Different chemical forms of Chromium carry different amounts of the nutrient itself. Our labels declare the elemental or active amount per portion, not the weight of the compound, so the figure can be compared honestly with other products.

Where it comes from

Whole grains, broccoli, potatoes and brewer's yeast.

Dose and how we use it

Featured in Glycaemic, Satiety and Metabolism Vitality.

Commonly taken in the form of Chromium Picolinate for superior absorption.

What research has — and has not — established

Nutrient function is established through the EU and GB authorised claim registers rather than through individual studies. Only the wording those registers permit appears on this page.

Cautions and interactions

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily portion. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care, seek professional advice before use.
