Blood Sugar Support Vitamins: What Glyco Defender Actually Contains
Blood sugar support vitamins are usually minerals and plant extracts sold in vitamin-style bottles. Glyco Defender holds no vitamins. Its only listed nutrient is the mineral chromium, 7 mcg as chromium picolinate, or 20% of the Daily Value. The American Diabetes Association finds no benefit from supplements without a deficiency.

Which vitamins support blood sugar?
No vitamin is proven to support blood sugar in people who are not deficient. The ADA says that without an underlying deficiency there is no benefit (ADA, Vitamins & Supplements).
Many products sold as vitamins for blood sugar are really minerals, such as chromium, or plant extracts. NCCIH says most supplements lack evidence for diabetes or its complications (NCCIH, Diabetes and Dietary Supplements).
Does Glyco Defender contain any vitamins?
No. The Supplement Facts list one nutrient, chromium, and then a proprietary blend of plant extracts and amino acids.
The label also states it is not a significant source of Vitamin D, calcium, iron or potassium, among others. Each serving has 0 calories.
| Item | Amount | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium picolinate | 7 mcg, 20% DV | Mineral |
| Proprietary blend | 15.47 mg | Plant extracts, amino acids |
| Vitamins | None listed | Not applicable |
How much chromium do you need each day?
Adults need 20 to 35 mcg a day, and the Daily Value is 35 mcg. One dropperful gives 7 mcg, one fifth of that (NIH ODS, Chromium).
Most people get chromium from food. The research on blood sugar used far more, often 200 to 1,000 mcg a day, and found slight changes of unclear meaning.
Chromium may add to insulin and other diabetes drugs, raising the risk of low blood sugar, and may reduce levothyroxine absorption (NIH ODS, Chromium). Ask your pharmacist.

See packsShould you take a multivitamin alongside it?
That is a question for your doctor, since a multivitamin may already contain chromium. Add up the mcg before doubling up.
The ingredients page shows what Glyco Defender holds, so a clinician can total it with your other products. Keep taking prescribed medicine either way.

FAQ01
Questions about vitamins and this formula
Is chromium a vitamin or a mineral?
Chromium is a mineral. Glyco Defender lists it as chromium picolinate at 7 mcg, which is 20% of the 35 mcg Daily Value (NIH ODS, Chromium). Calling a mineral product a vitamin is common in marketing.
Can I get enough chromium from food?
Most healthy adults do. The adequate intake is 20 to 35 mcg a day, and chromium appears in many ordinary foods (NIH ODS, Chromium). A supplement is mainly useful if a clinician finds you are short.
Does Glyco Defender have vitamin B or vitamin D?
No. The label lists none, and it says the product is not a significant source of Vitamin D, calcium, iron or potassium. Its blend is made of plant extracts and amino acids.
