Frequently Asked Questions
GTF Chromium is a dietary supplement providing chromium, an essential trace mineral involved in the body's metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
GTF stands for Glucose Tolerance Factor. NOW Foods uses this term for its chromium nicotinate glycinate formulation. The name does not mean the supplement is proven to treat impaired glucose tolerance.
Chromium is involved in normal nutrient metabolism and may influence insulin action. However, the benefits of taking extra chromium are uncertain for people who already get enough from their diet.
Research on chromium supplements has produced mixed results. Some studies suggest modest improvements in blood glucose in certain people, but the evidence is inconsistent. It is not a substitute for diabetes medication or a proven treatment for high blood sugar.
Chromium has been studied for its potential effects on insulin sensitivity, but results are inconsistent, and there is not enough reliable evidence to recommend it as a treatment for insulin resistance.
Take it with a meal, as directed on the label. There is no strong evidence that breakfast, lunch, or dinner is uniquely effective.
Evidence suggests chromium supplements have, at most, a very small effect on weight loss in some studies. It is not a reliable fat-burning supplement and cannot replace a balanced diet and physical activity.
