Buy Chromium – Supplements with the Essential Trace Element

Chromium is a chemical element from the group of transition metals and, in its trivalent form (chromium-III), is one of the essential trace elements. It occurs in the human body only in very small amounts. In this category, you'll find chromium supplements from Scheunengut – in bioavailable compounds, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

In food supplements, only trivalent chromium (chromium-III) is used. Typical compounds are chromium-III chloride, chromium picolinate and the yeast-bound chromium variant. These raw materials are manufactured to a defined standard and adjusted to a specific chromium content.

Standardisation & Format

What matters is the declared amount of elemental chromium per serving, usually stated in micrograms (µg). Chromium is available as a capsule, tablet or powder – often combined with other trace elements such as zinc or as part of broad vitamin and mineral formulations.

What to Look for When Buying

  • Clearly declared content of elemental chromium in µg per serving
  • Chromium-III compound used (e.g. picolinate or chloride)
  • Vegan capsule shell, free from unnecessary additives
  • Independently lab-tested quality

We rely on transparently declared raw materials in bioavailable forms. Related are other minerals such as selenium. All products are bottled in Germany and lab-tested.

Häufige Fragen zu Chromium

What function does chromium have in the body?

In its trivalent form, chromium is an essential trace element that the body contains only in very small amounts. It contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism – that is, of carbohydrates, fats and protein – as well as to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Chromium therefore plays a subtle but targeted role in metabolism.

Which forms of chromium are used?

Only trivalent chromium (chromium III) is used in food supplements. Typical compounds include chromium picolinate, chromium(III) chloride and yeast-bound chromium. These raw materials are manufactured to a defined specification and standardised to a particular chromium content. This allows the amount per serving to be stated precisely and declared transparently.

What should I look out for when buying chromium?

What matters most is the declared amount of elemental chromium per serving, usually stated in micrograms (µg). Look for a well-available compound and tested purity. Our chromium products are made in Germany, lab-tested and vegan – with a clearly stated content and without unnecessary additives.

How is chromium taken and combined?

Chromium is available as a capsule, tablet or powder and is often combined with other trace elements. Because the requirement is very small, it is dosed at low levels. If you want to supplement your micronutrient intake in a targeted way, you'll find chromium with us in pure form or as part of well thought-out combinations.
