NOW Foods Tri-Chromium 500mcg with Cinnamon 180 Veg Capsules

NOW® Tri-Chromium provides 500 mcg of chromium from three well-studied forms plus 250 mg of cinnamon to support healthy glucose metabolism.* 180 veg capsules. Chromium is an essential trace mineral known to enhance the actions of insulin, the peptide critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrate, fat and protein.* Adequate chromium is necessary for maintaining healthy glucose metabolism, and Tri-Chromium features three forms — picolinate, nicotinate glycinate and polynicotinate — to maximize absorption.* Cinnamon is included for its traditional use in supporting proper metabolic function.* It is a comprehensive chromium formula for metabolic wellness.*

About the key ingredients

• Chromium (from Picolinate, Nicotinate Glycinate and Polynicotinate) – 500 mcg: A 500 mcg dose from three complementary chromium forms chosen to maximize absorption; chromium is an insulin co-factor essential for healthy glucose metabolism.* Learn more about Chromium from the NIH.
• Cinnamon (Bark) – 250 mg: A culinary botanical included for its long historical use in supporting proper metabolic function, complementing the chromium blend.*
• Other ingredients: NOW® uses simple, functional excipients — typically a plant-based hypromellose (cellulose) capsule or a light tablet coating plus flow agents such as stearic acid and silicon dioxide — with no unnecessary fillers, artificial colors or preservatives.

Who it's for

Tri-Chromium with Cinnamon is aimed at adults who want a more comprehensive chromium supplement — three forms for absorption plus supportive cinnamon — to help maintain healthy glucose metabolism as part of a balanced lifestyle.* It appeals to those focused on metabolic wellness who prefer a single daily capsule that combines the trace mineral with a traditional metabolic botanical.* Because chromium influences glucose metabolism, it is best used under medical guidance by anyone on blood-sugar or thyroid medication.*

Frequently asked questions

Why three forms of chromium?
Different chromium forms may be absorbed and used somewhat differently, so Tri-Chromium combines picolinate, nicotinate glycinate (Albion™) and polynicotinate (ChromeMate®) to maximize absorption and give broad coverage from a single 500 mcg dose.*

What does the cinnamon add?
Cinnamon bark has a long history of traditional use for supporting proper metabolic function, so it is included to complement chromium's role as an insulin co-factor.* The two are paired here to make a more complete glucose-metabolism formula.*

Any timing considerations?
Take one capsule daily with a meal. Importantly, this product should be taken at least 3–4 hours before or 1 hour after thyroid medication, and anyone on diabetes medication should use it only under a 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.
