ChromeMate supplies chromium bound to niacin, a form called chromium polynicotinate. This patented combination is easily absorbed. Chromium helps the body use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins efficiently. The niacin in the complex may also promote healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
People take ChromeMate primarily to help keep blood sugar levels in a normal range and to support daily energy production. A typical dose provides 200 to 600 mcg of elemental chromium, taken once or twice a day with meals. Check the product label for the exact amount.
Talk with your doctor before using ChromeMate if you have diabetes, hypoglycemia, or take medication that affects blood sugar. High doses can cause stomach upset and may interfere with the absorption of thyroid medication or iron.
