Interactions and Safety of Albion Chelated Chromium + Lactase
Interaction Details
Taking Albion Chelated Chromium and Lactase together has a moderate potential for synergy, as they target different physiological processes that can complement each other, suggesting a rating of 4 out of 5.
Albion Chelated Chromium is involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, potentially improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products, into easily absorbed sugars. When taken together, they can help individuals with lactose intolerance to digest dairy products that may contain chromium or other nutrients beneficial for metabolic health. The synergy arises from the fact that improved digestion (thanks to Lactase) can enhance nutrient absorption (including chromium), potentially amplifying the benefits of Albion Chelated Chromium on metabolic health. This complementary action can be particularly beneficial for individuals who are lactose intolerant but still wish to consume dairy products as part of a balanced diet that includes chromium-rich foods.
Potential Benefits
Potential Risks
Albion Chelated Chromium
Albion Chelated Chromium is a form of the mineral chromium that is bound to an amino acid, making it more easily absorbed by the body. It is used to support carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.
Lactase
Lactase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products, into easily absorbed sugars. People with lactose intolerance do not produce enough lactase, leading to uncomfortable symptoms.
