Third-party testing 8.0/10

Product Description

Each capsule delivers 200 mcg chromium chelated with picolinic acid. Capsules are small, easy to swallow, and contain potato starch as the only excipient.

What We Like

  • Clean hypoallergenic profile with no unnecessary fillers
  • 90 servings last three months
  • Blood sugar support for sedentary workers

What We’re Missing

  • No companion ingredients like cinnamon or berberine
  • Chromium alone appears effective mainly alongside lifestyle changes

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily with a carbohydrate-rich main meal. If using alongside berberine, separate doses by 2 hours.
