Chromium and Vitamin C: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 8 records that name Chromium and Vitamin C together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Chromium and Vitamin C. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

8 studies naming Chromium and Vitamin C.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Synchronizing positive effect of vitamin C and chromium on hyper lipidemia, hyperglycemia, liver enzymes and BMI of diabetes mellitus type 2 patients.

Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences · 2024 · PMID 38747270

Randomized Controlled Trial60 participants

“BMI values were also improved (P=0.01) after treatment. Combined supplementation of vitamin C and chromium reduce the plasma lipid percentage, blood glucose levels and also improve the ALT and AST functions.”

Sabar et al. · From the abstract

Names both Chromium and Vitamin C in its title.

Soil-phase immobilization of hexavalent chromium using L-ascorbic acid - kinetics, process optimization, and phytotoxicity studies.

The Science of the total environment · 2024 · PMID 37820807

“The study provides new insights into the use of l-ascorbic acid for sustainable remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil. The optimum process conditions and the rate data obtained in this study are expected to be useful for the process design of a remediation facility for Cr(VI)-contaminated soil.”

Maiti et al. · From the abstract

Names both Chromium and Vitamin C in its title.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Chromium, Vitamin C, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
