Chromium Synergy™

Comprehensive formula of vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals designed to support glucose metabolism.

Chromium Synergy™ is a synergistic formula of nutrients for optimal insulin function and blood sugar control. It combines the best chelated minerals from Albion Advanced Nutrition in a base of cinnamon powder to assist insulin receptor function and cellular glucose uptake.

Chromium Synergy™ is a synergistic blend of nutrients formulated to support normal blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity. Each one-capsule serving provides a clinically relevant 300 mcg of chromium nicotinate, along with vanadium, taurine, zinc, and manganese—all nutrients that play key roles in glucoregulation. The blend is delivered in a base of cinnamon powder, traditionally recognized for supporting blood sugar balance. All minerals are provided as amino acid chelates, which are better absorbed and retained in the body than non-chelated mineral salts.

Spotlight on Chromium:

• The foundational ingredient, chromium nicotinate, enhances insulin sensitivity and supports glucoregulation.

• Supplementation has been shown to improve fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and cholesterol among type 2 diabetics—even without dietary changes.

• Chromium may also reverse glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia (“steroid-induced diabetes”).

• Patients receiving chromium supplements (600 mcg/d) were able to reduce their hypoglycemic drugs by 50%.

• The daily dietary intake recommendation is 50–200 mcg, but modern diets often provide less than 60% of the minimum. High sugar diets further increase chromium loss by up to 300%.

Vanadium

• Enhances and potentiates insulin action.

• Improves insulin sensitivity in liver and muscle cells while inhibiting enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis.

• Supports insulin receptor signaling and inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatases (which down-regulate insulin signaling).

• In studies, vanadium reduced insulin requirements in insulin-dependent diabetes by up to 75%.

Zinc

• Supports pancreatic insulin production and proper insulin receptor function.

• Low serum zinc levels are associated with higher rates of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and insulin resistance.

• Supplementation improves glycemic control, HbA1c, and lipid profiles in type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and PCOS.

Manganese

• Required for normal insulin production and secretion.

• Supports mitochondrial antioxidant defense through manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD).

• Cofactor in glycosyltransferase enzymes, which are important for collagen and connective tissue health—especially relevant since diabetes accelerates glycation and tissue damage.

Taurine

• Known for roles in liver detoxification, bile production, and as a natural diuretic.

• Supports cardiovascular health, reduces carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and improves blood pressure in pre-hypertensive subjects.

• May help address fluid accumulation and tissue swelling associated with cardiovascular conditions.

Medicinal Ingredients (per capsule):

• Taurine – 500 mg

• Zinc (as zinc bisglycinate) – 10 mg

• Manganese (as manganese bisglycinate) – 1 mg

• Chromium (as chromium nicotinate) – 300 mcg

• Vanadium (as vanadium amino acid chelate) – 100 mcg

• Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) – 2.5 mcg (100 IU)

Non-Medicinal Ingredients: Hypromellose, cinnamon powder, magnesium stearate (vegetable source).

Recommended Dose:

• Adults: Take 1 capsule per day with a meal, a few hours before or after taking other medications, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

• Dosing recommendations are based on an average 150 lb healthy adult. Healthcare practitioners should use clinical judgment for case-specific dosing.
