Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 6.0/10

Chromium picolinate shows moderate effects on blood sugar and insulin sensitivity in some studies, but overall evidence is mixed. Not a substitute for lifestyle changes, but interesting as a complement for certain populations.

Value for money 6.0/10

Around €0.25 per day is relatively expensive for chromium. Other providers offer similar doses cheaper, but without Thorne's quality standards.

Product quality 9.0/10

Thorne uses the well-absorbed picolinate form and produces in NSF-certified facilities. High purity and excellent quality control.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Thorne stays factual and avoids exaggerated efficacy claims. Clear formulation and dosage information.

Third-party testing 9.0/10

Thorne is one of the most rigorously tested supplement brands with NSF Certified for Sport — a reliable standard.
