Can You Take Chromium and Invertase Together?

May affect absorption

The short answer

Invertase breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose, causing a faster blood sugar rise. This may counteract the blood sugar-stabilizing effects of chromium supplementation.

How to arrange timing

If using both, take chromium at least 30 minutes before meals and invertase with meals.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
