Good morning I wanted to ask if chromium and berberine supplementation in any way affects the effectiveness of hormonal contraception (Syndi-35)? On the Internet finds only the same contradictory information, eg on wp abc health and health guide claim that chromium reduces the action, and on other sites it is written that it does not reduce the action. Also, how is it finally with this?

To the best of my knowledge, neither chromium nor berberine affect the effectiveness of birth control pills in a negative way. The list of drugs, supplements and substances that can realistically reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraception is given in the following article, which I recommend to read. The list is constantly updated based on scientific data: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji I also encourage you to read the material on whether food and drinks affect the effectiveness of contraception in any way: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jedzenie-i-picie-obnizaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji Nevertheless - in your case there is no reason to worry.
