Your questions, answered
How much chromium is in each capsule?
200mcg of chromium from 1,835mcg of chromium picolinate, which is 500% of the UK reference intake of 40mcg. One capsule of NOW Chromium Picolinate is the daily serving.
How do I take it, and how long does it last?
One capsule a day with a meal, so the 100 capsules of NOW Chromium Picolinate last 100 days, a little over three months.
What does chromium do?
Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. It isn't a weight-loss product and doesn't replace a balanced diet.
I take diabetes medication. Can I use it?
Only with your doctor's agreement. NOW's label says to consult a physician if you take medication, especially for diabetes, and that people with diabetes or low blood sugar should use it only under medical supervision.
Why chromium picolinate?
It's chromium bound to picolinic acid, one of the chromium forms permitted in UK food supplements. NOW puts it in a plain capsule with nothing but rice flour and the hypromellose shell.
Is it vegan, and who shouldn't take it?
It's labelled vegetarian/vegan and made in Canada, with no yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. It's for adults only; check with a doctor first if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Capsules or Trace Minerals liquid chromium?
NOW's capsule gives a fixed 200mcg with nothing to measure. Trace Minerals Liquid Ionic Chromium, which we also stock, is chromium chloride drops at 550mcg per full serving, for people who'd rather mix it into juice.
