The micromineral Chromium has been getting a lot of attention lately due to a number of surprising benefits that researchers have discovered in studies. 

Even though chromium is required by the body in smaller amounts the roles it plays in metabolism, blood sugar, and insulin management are vital to health and well-being. 

Not to mention, chromium helps with balancing hormones and supports weight loss by reducing hunger and cravings (one of the more recent discoveries).

Without enough chromium, people can experience issues with blood sugar management, extra stress on the adrenal glands, reduced metabolism of nutrients from food and impaired insulin function. 

Chromium was discovered in the late 18th century but has become more well recognized recently due to the benefits observed in studies. 

One of the most interesting things about Chromium is the downstream effects it has on vital functions in the body...

Adequate chromium levels help to balance hormones, takes stress off the adrenal glands, reduce hunger and cravings for weight loss, and support the utilization of the nutrients you eat. 

Chromium is required to activate phosphoglucomutase and other enzymes. Phosphoglucomutase in particular is an enzyme for starch biosynthesis, thus helping with glucose metabolism. But it doesn't stop at just glucose.

Some research shows that chromium can help with reducing cholesterol, thus its direct link to fat metabolism. It's been shown that individuals with heart disease have detectably low levels of chromium read more.

While you can try to get Chromium from food sources, it’s very poorly absorbed in the digestive system. 

You’ll only be able to absorb about 2.5% of the chromium you eat from foods.

However, the good news is…

At Upgraded Formulas, we have Upgraded Chromium Plus which is absorbed at a rate of 99.99% and bypasses the digestive system when getting absorbed.

A conventional chromium supplement does not absorb well. Upgraded Chromium Plus with its Stabilized Nano Mineral Technology has been developed with small and stable Nano particles to provide maximum bioavailability, and improved symptom relief.

So, regarding the supplements you’re currently taking, where does the problem lie?
Most supplements only absorb in the body at a rate of 4-20%.

This is because the mineral particles are too big for your cells to use.

We solved this problem by creating a proprietary Nano Particle Technology…

This shrinks the particles of minerals so they can be absorbed at a rate of 99.99%.

Not only that, due to the small particle size of Upgraded Minerals…

They don’t need to be digested and can be absorbed in seconds.

FAQs

Question: How do I take Upgraded Chromium Plus (with Stabilized Nano Minerals)?”

Answer: We recommend drinking 8-16 oz. of water with your Upgraded Chromium Plus since it’s a liquid that comes in a dropper and is meant to be diluted.  If you feel any discomfort on an empty stomach you can take prior to a meal or with a snack to help. 

Question: “Can I take Upgraded Chromium Plus on an empty stomach?”

Answer: Yes, we recommend you take Upgraded Chromium Plus with 8-16 oz. of water, however, if you do notice any discomfort we recommend taking it 15-20 minutes prior to a meal or with a snack to help relieve discomfort. 

Question: What is Nanoized Chromium Picolinate?”

Answer: Our Nano Chromium Picolinate is a highly bioavailable form of the mineral. It is more absorbable than other types on the market.  Nano Chromium Picolinate is in nanoparticle form enabling maximum bioavailability and measurable absorption.

Question: “Why is Ascorbic Acids on the label?”

Answer: Ascorbic Acid is just another word for Vitamin C. A little-known fact is that Vitamin C helps with Chromium absorption and allows it to work more effectively in your body. 

Question: “Are your products Keto, Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Organic?”

Answer: Yes, we’ve ensured that our products don’t contain the common allergens and have gone to great lengths to make sure our product can fit in with anyone’s dietary restrictions or needs whether keto, vegan, gluten free or organic. 

Question: “What is a Stabilized Nano Mineral, and what does it do?”

Answer: Every mineral on the market (except ours) is too large for the human body to fully absorb and use. We solved that absorption and particle size problem with our patented Nano Particle technology.

A Nano Particle Mineral is a mineral that’s been shrunk so the body can absorb the mineral without digestion and get quicker results. Other minerals are absorbed at a rate of 5%-20% but Nano Particle Minerals are absorbed at a rate of 99.99%. We’re the only company in the world that uses this technology with minerals.

Why this scored 49/100

Single-mineral chromium in a proprietary 'absorption method' marketed at 99.99% bioavailability — a claim with no independent verification. Chromium picolinate meta-analyses (Suksomboon J Clin Pharm Ther 2014) show modest fasting-glucose improvement in T2DM only; weight-loss and hunger-suppression claims are weakly supported. Per-serving chromium dose not shown in listing.

Evidence & sources

The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.

Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

How to read the Evidence dimension

  • 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
  • 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
  • 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
  • 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
  • 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
