HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nutrisorb Chromium by BioCare

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Nutrisorb Chromium contains one active ingredient: chromium, supplied here as chromium chloride in a liquid form. The product also includes water, potassium sorbate (a preservative), and citric acid as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Liquid chromium for blood glucose support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antiretroviral-induced insulin resistance, Chromium deficiency, Diabetes, Hypoglycemia, Impaired glucose tolerance (Prediabetes), Metabolic syndrome — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Chromium is rated "Likely Effective" for Chromium deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chromium is rated "Possibly Effective" for Diabetes.
  • Also on file: Chromium is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Impaired glucose tolerance (Prediabetes).

The evidence for chromium depends on what you're using it for. It's rated likely effective for chromium deficiency, which is rare in people eating a normal diet.

For type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), the data shows chromium is possibly effective for diabetes but possibly ineffective for prediabetes. For schizophrenia and high blood pressure, research suggests it's possibly ineffective.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chromium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chromium is generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, insomnia, irritability, and mood changes.

Rare serious effects — kidney or liver damage, muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), and low platelet counts — have been reported, mostly with high or long-term doses. Skin reactions including rashes and hives can occur, particularly in people with contact sensitivity to chromium.

The safety data advises against taking extra chromium supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor recommends it. Small amounts from food or a prenatal vitamin are considered acceptable, but supplement doses above that are not advised without medical guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chromium

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Chromium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 178 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist if you take insulin or antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications), levothyroxine (thyroid medication), NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen, or aspirin. Chromium may lower your blood sugar further or reduce how much thyroid medication your body absorbs, and these drugs may increase how much chromium builds up in your system.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Nutrisorb Chromium may help with chromium deficiency or possibly support blood sugar management in type 2 diabetes, but it's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without doctor approval. If you take insulin, diabetes medications, levothyroxine, or regular NSAIDs or aspirin, talk with your pharmacist before starting this — the interactions could affect how well your medications work or your blood sugar levels.

Chromium5 drug types · 178 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, chromium may have additive effects with antidiabetic agents and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some research shows that taking chromium might lower blood glucose levels, especially in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Insulin

Theoretically, concomitant use of chromium and insulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In clinical research, chromium has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity,

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Chromium might bind levothyroxine in the intestinal tract and decrease levothyroxine absorption.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that taking chromium picolinate 1000 mcg with levothyroxine 1 mg decreases serum levels of levothyroxine by 17% when compared to taking levothyroxine alone. Advise patients to take levothyroxine at least 30 minutes before or 3-4 hours after taking chromium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase chromium absorption.
Animal research suggests that aspirin may increase chromium absorption and chromium levels in the blood.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)

NSAIDs might increase chromium levels in the body.
Drugs that are prostaglandin inhibitors, such as NSAIDs, seem to increase chromium absorption and retention.

Nutrisorb Chromium by BioCare: Common Questions

Does Nutrisorb Chromium by BioCare interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nutrisorb Chromium has a known interaction with 178 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nutrisorb Chromium contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What does chromium do?
Chromium helps your body use insulin and manage blood sugar. It's an essential mineral, and deficiency is rare in people eating a varied diet. The supplement is rated possibly effective for type 2 diabetes but possibly ineffective for prediabetes.
Can I take this if I have type 2 diabetes?
Chromium is possibly effective for type 2 diabetes, but you must check with your doctor or pharmacist first if you take insulin or diabetes medications. Chromium may lower your blood sugar further, raising the risk of it dropping too low.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against extra chromium supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor recommends it. Small amounts from food or a prenatal vitamin are considered acceptable, but supplement doses above that should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the side effects?
Most common side effects are stomach upset, headaches, insomnia, irritability, and mood changes. Skin rashes and hives can occur, especially in people sensitive to chromium. Rare serious effects like kidney or liver damage have been reported with high or long-term doses.
Can chromium affect my thyroid medication?
Yes — chromium can bind to levothyroxine (Synthroid) in your gut and reduce how much you absorb by about 17%. If you take thyroid medication, take it at least a couple of hours apart from chromium and tell your pharmacist.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Chromium is usually well tolerated at typical doses, but high or long-term doses may pose risks. There's limited safety data on higher supplement doses, so it's best to avoid taking extra chromium unless your doctor recommends it.
