Overview
•One tablet provides 200 mcg chromium; the label suggests one or two tablets daily, giving 200-400 mcg, a common supplemental range but best not stacked with other high-dose chromium products without supervision.
•Possible side effects include nausea, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, or low blood sugar symptoms in susceptible users.
•People using insulin, sulfonylureas, metformin, or other glucose-lowering medicines should monitor blood sugar and consult a clinician because chromium may add to glucose-lowering effects.
•Separate from levothyroxine and mineral-sensitive medicines by several hours, since minerals can reduce absorption of some drugs.
•Pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, or diabetic users should follow the label caution and consult a healthcare professional before use.
•Label states it contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy, or wheat; tablet excipients include cellulose, dibasic calcium phosphate, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate.
