leaderboard Score 55.0
An herbal blend for circulation with a negligible amount of chromium, unsuitable for targeted metabolic goals.
Kroeger Herb's 'Circu Flow' is marketed for circulatory health, aligning with 'Heart Health.' It contains a proprietary herbal blend, the exact composition and efficacy of which are obscured by the blend format. The chromium content is notably low (62mcg of Chromium Picolinate Chelate), making it largely ineffective for specific 'Metabolism Boost' or 'Weight Loss' goals related to chromium, especially when compared to targeted chromium supplements. While Vitamin C and Selenium offer general antioxidant support, their contribution to the stated goals is broad and not specific to chromium's role.
- May offer some benefits for circulatory health through its herbal blend (though specifics are unknown).
- Contains Vitamin C and Selenium for antioxidant support.
- Extremely low and ineffective dose of chromium for targeted metabolic benefits.
- Uses a proprietary blend, preventing full transparency of active ingredients.
- Not a cost-effective option for obtaining chromium.
- Limited direct impact on energy, anti-inflammatory, metabolism, or weight loss specifically through chromium.
- Effectiveness heavily relies on the undisclosed proprietary herbal blend, making it difficult to assess comprehensively.
- Not recommended if the primary goal is to supplement with effective doses of chromium for metabolism or weight loss.

Categories
Chromium 25.0
The chromium content is critically low and insufficient to deliver on the expectations of a product within the chromium collection for metabolic or weight loss purposes.
Goals
Heart Health 60.0
While marketed for circulation and containing general heart-supportive vitamins, the chromium content is too low to specifically enhance heart health through its metabolic effects as intended.
Anti-Inflammatory Support 45.0
While Vitamin C has antioxidant properties, the overall blend's contribution to anti-inflammatory support is not primary, and chromium is not a key player here.
Energy 40.0
The product lacks direct energy-boosting ingredients, and the negligible chromium dose means it won't significantly impact energy levels via glucose metabolism.
