A form of chromium

Chromium nicotinate glycinate supplements

858 chromium products in the NIH label database list chromium as chromium nicotinate glycinate (11% of the 8,169 chromium products); their median is 100 mcg of chromium per serving, against 100 mcg across all chromium products (DSLD version 9.4.0, January 2026).

How does chromium nicotinate glycinate compare with the other forms?

The median amount of chromium per serving in products naming each form; the count in brackets. The amount is the chromium the label gives, as printed (the Supplement Facts row normally states the element; a row named as the compound usually gives the compound's weight and is left out of these figures).

Is the amount the chromium or the whole chromium nicotinate glycinate?

A Supplement Facts row normally states the chromium itself (a row like "Chromium (as chromium nicotinate glycinate)"); a row named as the compound (a row like "Chromium nicotinate glycinate") usually states the compound's weight, which includes what the chromium is bound to and is larger than the chromium it supplies. The front of a bottle may print either. Of the 858 products here, 857 give the chromium in its own row (7 of them an amount far outside what other labels list, or one their own %DV disagrees with); 1 gives only a row named as the compound, left out of the medians and counts on this site.
