Now Foods Chromium Picolinate-200mcg-100 Veg capsules
R 269.00
Chromium picolinate, the insulin co-factor for glucose control.
INSULIN CO-FACTOR
Chromium is part of chromodulin, a small peptide that amplifies insulin's signal at the receptor. Adequate chromium supports cellular glucose uptake.
GLUCOSE METABOLISM
Daily chromium intake has been studied for blood glucose stability, particularly in those with mild insulin resistance or sugar cravings.
CARBOHYDRATE UTILISATION
Beyond glucose itself, chromium supports how the body partitions carbohydrate between energy use and storage.
CARDIOVASCULAR SUPPORT
Through its effects on insulin signalling and lipid metabolism, adequate chromium intake supports cardiovascular markers indirectly.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg elemental
- Trivalent chromium bound to picolinic acid for improved absorption. Forms part of chromodulin, an insulin-amplifying peptide that supports cellular glucose uptake.
Who is it for?
Adults wanting glucose and insulin sensitivity support, those with sugar cravings, and people with metabolic syndrome markers (with medical supervision).
Why use it?
Chromium picolinate is the most-studied form with decades of trials behind it. The picolinate carrier improves absorption versus chromium chloride or chromium polynicotinate.
When to use it
Take with the largest carbohydrate-containing meal of the day, typically dinner. Chromium acts on insulin signalling at the meal, so timing it with meals matters.
How to use it
Take 1 capsule daily with a meal containing carbohydrates and water. Use consistently for 8 to 12 weeks before assessing effect on glucose markers or cravings.

Strategic Cross-Sell
Biomax Bio Berberine Complex Berberis-60 Capsules
Berberine acts on glucose metabolism through AMPK activation, a different pathway to chromium's insulin co-factor role. Stacking them gives broader glucose support from complementary mechanisms.
