Trace mineral that enhances insulin sensitivity
We rank Chromium by price per 40mcg - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
What it is
Chromium is a trace mineral, which means it is a nutrient the human body only needs in very small amounts to function correctly. It is primarily known for its role in enhancing insulin sensitivity, which is the body's ability to respond effectively to the hormone insulin to manage blood sugar levels.
Why it's used
It is used as a supplement to help the body process carbohydrates, fats, and proteins more efficiently. By improving how insulin works, it is often taken by people looking to support stable blood glucose levels.
How it's made
To create the supplement, chromium is combined with other elements to create a stable compound that the body can absorb, as pure chromium is not used. This resulting powder is then measured and packed into capsules or pressed into tablets for sale.
What it typically costs
Chromium is generally mid-range in price. This is because while the raw mineral is not excessively rare, the process of refining it into a safe, bioavailable form for human consumption requires specific manufacturing standards.
