Frequently asked questions

What does 'GTF' mean?
GTF stands for Glucose Tolerance Factor. This chelated chromium (Albion™ chromium nicotinate glycinate) is called GTF because it is most similar to the biologically active form of chromium that was originally isolated from a food source, and it supports healthy glucose metabolism as an insulin co-factor.*

Is it yeast-free?
Yes. Some older 'GTF chromium' products were grown on yeast, but this one is a yeast-free chelated form, which makes it suitable for people who prefer to avoid yeast while still getting biologically active chromium.*

How do I take it?
Take one tablet one to two times daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare provider. If you take medication that could affect glucose levels, use it only under your physician's supervision.*

Cautions & interactions

Chromium influences glucose metabolism, so it is especially important to talk to your doctor before use if you take diabetes or blood-sugar medications or have a blood-sugar disorder — diabetics and hypoglycemics should use it only under a physician's supervision.* Some chromium products should be taken several hours apart from thyroid medication, so check the label and separate dosing accordingly. Consult your physician if pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or managing a medical condition, and keep out of reach of children.
