Chromium Synergy™
Blood Glucose and Insulin Metabolism Support*
Comprehensive formula of vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals designed to support normal blood sugar and insulin metabolism.*
Provides 300 mcg of chromium along with cinnamon powder, vanadium, taurine, zinc, and other nutrients that play a role in glucose metabolism.*
• Supports healthy blood glucose metabolism*
• Promotes a healthy response to insulin*
• Provides important minerals and antioxidants for optimal metabolism*
Recommended Use: Take 1 capsule per day with a meal or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
Cinnamon powder + key nutrients for blood sugar support*
Chromium Synergy™ combines cinnamon powder with key nutrients to support healthy glucose metabolism.* Cinnamon is traditionally used to help maintain healthy blood sugar metabolism.* Chromium, a trace mineral essential for proper glucose uptake, is included in chelated form for superior absorption and bioavailability.* Vanadium works synergistically with chromium to support normal insulin and glucose metabolism, while manganese contributes to antioxidant defenses.* Additional nutrients, including zinc, vitamin D, and taurine, further support overall metabolic and cellular function.*

Chromium Synergy™
Chelated Chromium with Vanadium, Manganese, and Cinnamon for Blood Sugar Regulation and Insulin Sensitivity*
Key Performance Benefits
- Supports healthy blood sugar levels*
- Promotes insulin sensitivity*
- Provides important minerals and antioxidants for optimal metabolism*
What This Product Is
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.*
All minerals in this product — chromium, manganese, vanadium, and zinc — are true chelates, providing superior absorption, retention, and bioavailability compared to other forms.*
Mechanism of Action
Chromium and Insulin Receptor Function
Chromium is a trace mineral required for proper functioning of the insulin receptor. Adequate chromium supports the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels and maintain insulin sensitivity.*
Vanadium and Synergistic Glucose Support
Vanadium acts synergistically with chromium to support healthy blood sugar control. It enhances the action of insulin by improving insulin sensitivity in liver and muscle cells, while inhibiting some enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis.*
Manganese, Taurine, and Antioxidant Protection
Manganese is required as a cofactor for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and is used in superoxide dismutase (SOD), critical for protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage. Taurine, zinc, and vitamin D provide additional support for insulin sensitivity and healthy glucose regulation.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking to support healthy blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity*
- Those looking for synergistic mineral support for glucose metabolism*
- Individuals who may not obtain adequate chromium from modern refined diets*
- Those seeking chelated mineral forms for superior absorption and bioavailability*
- Individuals looking for antioxidant support to protect against oxidative stress associated with blood sugar imbalances*

Product Questions
Why are chelated minerals important in this formula?
All minerals in Chromium Synergy™ are 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.*
Who may benefit most from Chromium Synergy™?
Individuals seeking to support healthy blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, particularly those who consume a modern refined diet that may be low in chromium.*
Why is cinnamon included in the formula?
Cinnamon has been well regarded for assisting in glycemic control. It serves as a complementary base for the chelated minerals and other nutrients in the formula.*
