Viridian Chromium & Cinnamon Complex

Viridian Chromium & Cinnamon Complex is a targeted nutritional supplement formulated to support healthy blood glucose regulation, normal macronutrient metabolism, and sustained energy levels throughout the day. This thoughtfully constructed formula combines chromium picolinate — one of the most well-absorbed forms of this essential trace mineral — with cinnamon extract and alpha lipoic acid to create a comprehensive approach to metabolic health and blood sugar balance.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and plays a central role in normal macronutrient metabolism. Its primary mechanism involves enhancing the sensitivity of cells to insulin — the hormone responsible for facilitating glucose uptake from the blood into cells for energy production. When chromium levels are suboptimal, insulin signalling can become less efficient, potentially leading to blood sugar fluctuations, carbohydrate cravings, and energy crashes after meals.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) has been studied extensively for its glucose-regulating properties. Research suggests that bioactive compounds in cinnamon, including cinnamaldehyde, can mimic the effects of insulin and activate insulin receptors, improving cellular glucose uptake. It has also been shown to inhibit alpha-glucosidase enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the digestive tract, slowing glucose absorption and moderating post-meal blood sugar rises.

Alpha lipoic acid, an organosulphur compound with exceptional antioxidant properties, has demonstrated insulin-sensitising effects and supports the energy-producing pathways in cells. It is also both fat and water soluble, allowing it to provide antioxidant protection across all body compartments. Together these three ingredients provide a comprehensive metabolic support strategy. Contains 100% active ingredients, no artificial fillers, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK.
