Glyco Defender Supplement Facts: The Whole Label, Typed Out and Explained
Glyco Defender's supplement facts list a 1 ml serving, 30 servings per container and zero calories. Each serving gives chromium (as chromium picolinate) at 7 mcg, 20% of the Daily Value, plus a 15.47 mg proprietary blend of 21 ingredients with no single amounts. The label adds stevia and xylitol, a firm caution and the standard FDA statement.

The blend03
How do you read the Glyco Defender proprietary blend?
Read the Glyco Defender proprietary blend by its total and its order: 15.47 mg for all 21 lines, listed from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)).
Shared evenly, each line gets about 0.74 mg. The order sets a ceiling, because the line in place k can weigh at most 15.47/k mg.
- Maca, place 1: at most 15.5 mg
- African mango, place 2: at most 7.7 mg
- Green tea, place 7: at most 2.2 mg
- Gymnema, place 8: at most 1.9 mg
"^Sourced from a concentrate with a 20:1 extract equivalent" tells you about yield, not strength (Monagas et al., Front Pharmacol 2022). Never multiply 15.47 mg by 20.
Each line's ceiling sits beside its studied dose on the Glyco Defender ingredients page.

See packsDaily Value05
What does 20% DV of chromium mean on the label?
20% DV means the 7 mcg of chromium in one dropperful is one fifth of the 35 mcg Daily Value set for labels (NIH ODS, Chromium).
Adults need about 20-35 mcg a day, so 7 mcg is a modest top-up. Blood sugar trials used far more, often 200-1,000 mcg a day.
The blend lines show "†" in the DV column, meaning no Daily Value exists. More on the mineral at chromium picolinate.
Gaps06
What does the Glyco Defender label leave out?
The Glyco Defender label leaves out the amount of each blend line, the caffeine content and the name of the manufacturer.
None of this breaks a rule, but each gap limits what you can check.
- No single amounts for the 21 blend lines
- No caffeine figure, though guarana and green tea add some (MSKCC, Guarana)
- No maker named; the distributor is GlycoDefender of Ogden, Utah
- No published lab report; lot GD-26/IG-8897 is a seller reference
To match a bottle in hand, use batch verify.
Warnings07
What do the Glyco Defender label warnings say?
The Glyco Defender label warns: do not exceed the dose, not for anyone under 18 or pregnant or nursing, and ask a physician first with a known medical condition.
It adds "KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN" and not to use the drops if the safety seal is damaged or missing.
Storage is short: Keep away from heat, light, and humidity to preserve freshness.
The label's physician line matters most for people on diabetes drugs. Do not stop or alter a prescription because of a supplement.
FAQ08
Glyco Defender supplement facts: common questions
What is the serving size on the Glyco Defender supplement facts panel?
The serving size is 1 ml, which is one full dropperful. The panel lists 30 servings per container, so one 30 mL bottle lasts 30 days at the label dose. The directions say to shake well, take one dropperful daily, place it in the mouth and swallow.
Who is listed as the maker on the Glyco Defender label?
No manufacturer is named. The label says "Distributed by: GlycoDefender, PO Box 12730, Ogden, UT 84404" with the email [email protected]. It adds that the drops were made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, in an FDA registered facility, which is a listing, not an approval (FDA, Registration of Food Facilities guide).
What does the ^ symbol mean on the Glyco Defender label?
The ^ mark means the ingredient is "sourced from a concentrate with a 20:1 extract equivalent." African mango has a different mark for 10:1. A ratio describes how much plant went into the extract, not its strength, and it does not change the 15.47 mg blend weight (Monagas et al., Front Pharmacol 2022).
Is the Glyco Defender label approved by the FDA?
No. FDA does not approve dietary supplements or their labels before sale (FDA, Using Dietary Supplements). The panel carries the standard statement that FDA has not evaluated the claims. The line about an FDA registered facility means the plant is listed with FDA, which is not approval (FDA, Registration of Food Facilities guide).
Why does the Glyco Defender label exclude people under 18 and pregnant women?
The label does not give a reason. It simply says the drops are not for use by anyone under 18, or by pregnant or nursing women. Several blend lines, such as maca and licorice, have pregnancy cautions in reference sources (MSKCC, Maca) (NCCIH, Licorice Root).
What does "Not a significant source" mean on the Glyco Defender label?
It means one serving holds too little of those nutrients to list. The Glyco Defender panel names saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, fiber, sugars, protein, vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium. The drops are not a food or a vitamin source.
