What are all the ingredients in Glyco Defender?

Glyco Defender lists chromium (as chromium picolinate) and 21 blend ingredients, 22 lines in all. The sales page says "20 research-informed botanicals and nutrients", so follow the bottle, not the ad (Glyco Defender sales page).

1 to 7
Maca, African mango, grape seed, guarana, eleuthero, astragalus, green tea.
8 to 14
Gymnema, forskohlii, cayenne, grapefruit seed, ginseng, raspberry ketones, L-glutamine.
15 to 21
L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta alanine, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, GABA, L-tryptophan, L-carnitine HCl.

Why does the order of the ingredients matter?

The order matters because US rules list a proprietary blend from most to least by weight. Place in line sets a ceiling on how much each ingredient can hold (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)).

Line k can weigh at most 15.47 divided by k. The first line holds at most 15.5 mg, the eighth at most 1.9 mg. An even split would be about 0.74 mg each.

Most each blend line can hold per 1 mL serving.
Place	Ingredient	At most
1	Maca root extract	15.5 mg
2	African mango seed extract	7.7 mg
8	Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract	1.9 mg
12	Ginseng root extract	1.3 mg
21	L-carnitine HCl	0.74 mg or less

What are the other ingredients in the drops?

Outside the blend sit water, natural flavors, potassium sorbate, stevia, xylitol and citrus extract. They carry and sweeten the blend.

Xylitol deserves a second look if you own a dog. It can cause a rapid, dangerous blood sugar drop in dogs, so store the bottle out of reach (FDA, Paws Off Xylitol).

Caffeine sources

Guarana (4th) and green tea (7th) can both add caffeine. The label prints no amount (MSKCC, Guarana).

How do the label amounts compare with studied doses?

They sit far below it. Gymnema studies used 200 to 400 mg of extract, against at most 1.9 mg here (Drugs.com, Gymnema monograph).

A 20:1 ratio does not raise the weight on the label (Monagas et al., Front Pharmacol 2022). Chromium is 7 mcg, while key trials ran 200 to 1,000 mcg (NIH ODS, Chromium).

For each line, see the ingredients page, and check the printed words on the supplement facts page. No trial has tested the product itself.

More on the ingredients list

Is there gluten, dairy or sugar in the drops?

Which ingredient is listed first?

Maca root extract is listed first in the blend, which makes it the heaviest blend line. Its real amount is not printed.
