Lemme Curb Chews vs. Olly Combat Cravings: The Complete Comparison

Expert Review By Dr. Kathleen Valenton, MD, Double-Board Certified OB/GYN
10 min read · Published March 17 2026

If you're trying to manage cravings, support healthy glucose metabolism, and maintain a healthy weight, you've likely come across two popular options: Lemme Curb Cravings Soft Chews and Olly Combat Cravings Capsules. Both use clinically-studied Chromium Picolinate (as Chromax®), but that's where the similarities largely end.

This guide breaks down every key difference so you can make an informed decision.

At a Glance: Lemme Curb vs. Olly Combat Cravings

Ingredient Deep Dive

1. Chromax® Chromium Picolinate — The Shared Foundation

Both products deliver 1,000 mcg of Chromax® Chromium Picolinate per serving. Chromax is a patented, clinically-studied form of chromium picolinate — a trace mineral that supports healthy glucose metabolism and helps curb food cravings by supporting insulin sensitivity.¹ The 1,000 mcg dose used by both brands is the same amount used in published clinical research.²

2. Gymnema Sylvestre — Lemme's Differentiator

Lemme Curb includes 100 mg of Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf Extract, a herb used for centuries in Ayurvedic tradition.³ Gymnema is often called the 'sugar destroyer' — a nod to its long history in Ayurvedic tradition.⁴

Olly Combat Cravings does not contain Gymnema Sylvestre. 

3. Vitamin B12 — Energy Metabolism Support from Lemme

Lemme Curb provides 50 mcg of Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) per serving — the most bioavailable form. B12 plays an essential role in cellular metabolism and energy production.⁵ This addition makes Lemme Curb stand out for cellular metabolism support.*

Olly Combat Cravings contains no Vitamin B12.

4. Green Tea Extract & Ginger — Olly's Additions

Olly Combat Cravings includes 50 mg of Green Tea Extract and 50 mg of Ginger Extract, both traditionally used to support energy and digestive comfort. These are beneficial additions, though research notes that 50 mg of green tea extract is a lower dose than typically used in weight management studies.

5. Superfruit Antioxidant Complex

Lemme Curb features a 25 mg Superfruit Complex combining Tart Cherry, Goji Berry, and Acai. Olly Combat Cravings includes 50 mg of Goji Berry Juice Powder on its own. Both provide antioxidant properties, though Lemme's blend covers a wider range of polyphenols.

Experience & Format: Chews vs. Capsules

This is one of the most practical differences between the two products:

• Lemme Curb Chews are soft, mixed fruit-flavored chews. They're enjoyable to take — more like a treat than a supplement — which supports daily consistency.

• Olly Combat Cravings are unflavored capsules that must be swallowed whole with water. They're sugar-free, which some users prefer, but require more intentionality to take every day.

For habit formation, an enjoyable format like a soft chew tends to lead to better adherence over time. And consistency is critical for any supplement to work.

Who Should Choose Lemme Curb Chews?

• You want Gymnema Sylvestre for its botanical properties

• You want Vitamin B12 for cellular energy and energy metabolism support*

• You prefer a great-tasting, easy daily format

• You're looking for a more comprehensive ingredient profile beyond just Chromium

Who Might Prefer Olly Combat Cravings?

• You prefer capsules over chews

• You want a completely sugar-free option

• You're specifically looking for Green Tea or Ginger Extract

• NSF and Vegan certification is a priority for you

The Bottom Line

Both Lemme Curb and Olly Combat Cravings share a strong foundation with clinically-studied Chromax® Chromium Picolinate. But Lemme Curb goes further: adding Vitamin B12 for cellular metabolism, Gymnema Sylvestre for botanical properties, and a superfruit antioxidant property blend, all in a format people actually enjoy taking every day.

For anyone focused on cravings support, healthy glucose metabolism, and weight management support, Lemme Curb Chews offer a more targeted and enjoyable solution.
