What is Chromax?

Chromax is the branded name for the specific chromium picolinate (trivalent chromium) used in this supplement. It's the source that provides the 200 micrograms of chromium in each capsule.

How many capsules should I take, and how long will a pack last?

The recommended intake is 1 to 3 capsules a day, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. A pack of 90 capsules will last between 30 and 90 days, depending on how many capsules are taken each day.

Is 200 micrograms of chromium a safe daily amount?

Yes. The UK Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals has set a guidance level of 10mg (10,000 micrograms) of chromium a day from supplements for adults. Even at the maximum recommended dose of three capsules a day, this product provides 600 micrograms of chromium, well within that guidance level.
