Chromium Synergy™ - 90 capsules

Chromium Synergy™ is a blend of nutrients designed to support healthy blood sugar regulation and an optimal
response to insulin.* This product is provided in a base of cinnamon powder, with cinnamon being well regarded for
assisting in glycemic control.* Chromium is a trace mineral required for proper functioning of the insulin receptor. As
such, inadequate chromium levels may result in suboptimal blood sugar control and impaired insulin sensitivity.
Chromium is found in small amounts in a wide variety of foods. Whole grains are a rich source, but the refining and
stripping of nutrients during processing means that many grain-based food products do not contain their original
chromium content, and people may be consuming less chromium in modern times than was present when the
human diet was predominantly whole, unrefined foods. Thus, individuals looking to support healthy regulation of
glucose levels may benefit from supplemental chromium.
Additional Highlights
• Vanadium – a trace mineral that acts synergistically with chromium
to support healthy blood sugar control. Vanadium enhances the
action of insulin by improving insulin sensitivity in liver and muscle
cells, while inhibiting some of the enzymes involved in the body’s
endogenous creation of glucose from other compounds (a process
called gluconeogenesis). Most foods are low in vanadium (sources
include black pepper, dill seeds, mushrooms, parsley, and shellfish), so
supplementation may be helpful for individuals who need occasional
help managing their blood sugar.*
• Manganese – a mineral required as a cofactor for enzymes involved
in carbohydrate metabolism and maintaining healthy blood glucose
levels. Manganese is also used in superoxide dismutase (SOD), one
of the body’s most important internal antioxidants. SOD is critical
for protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage, which may
intermittently become excessive when blood sugar is poorly controlled.
• Taurine, Zinc, Vitamin D – nutrients and amino acids with properties that support insulin sensitivity, healthy
regulation of glucose, and other biochemical processes in the body
The minerals in this product – chromium, manganese, vanadium and zinc – are all true chelates. Chelated minerals
provide superior absorption, retention, and bioavailability compared to other forms, and they do not compete or
interfere with other minerals for absorption in the body.
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health
care practitioner.
