Showing Chromium in the nutrient table
Give the amount of Chromium per daily dose, in µg, and the %NRV. A daily dose of 40 µg works out as 40 ÷ 40 × 100 = 100% NRV. Check other doses with our %NRV calculator.
The nutrient table names the nutrient. The ingredients list names the form used, such as chromium picolinate.
Is there a maximum dose?
The UK has no legal maximum for chromium in food supplements. The Department of Health and Social Care advice, published on the NHS website, is: 10 mg or less a day from food and supplements is unlikely to cause harm.
Authorised health claims
These are examples of authorised claims on the GB nutrition and health claims register. Use them word for word or with wording that means exactly the same, and only when the daily dose provides at least 15% of the NRV (6 µg).
- “Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism”
- “Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels”

Labelling notes
Chromium is popular in weight-management products. Its claims are about blood glucose and macronutrient metabolism, not weight loss.
Check before you print. Claims and dose advice are summarised from the GB nutrition and health claims register and the NHS vitamins and minerals pages, as of October 2026. Confirm your final wording against the register.
