The panel
What Is Inside GlycoAid
Fourteen ingredients in a 500 mg proprietary formulation. One page each, with an evidence grade on every one.
Proprietary formulation — 500 mgServing size: 1 capsule · 30 servings per bottle
Cinnamon Bark
The kitchen spice with the longest run of human trials behind it.
Gymnema Sylvestre
Called gurmar, sugar destroyer, for what it does to sweet taste on the tongue.
Banaba Leaf
A Philippine tree leaf carrying corosolic acid, drunk as tea long before capsules.
Bitter Melon
A vegetable eaten daily across Asia, bitter enough that nobody eats it by accident.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
A compound your own cells make, active in both water and fat.
Chromium
An essential trace mineral with a published daily intake and a settled role.
Biotin
Vitamin B7, the cofactor five carboxylase enzymes cannot work without.
White Mulberry Leaf
The leaf silkworms live on, carrying a sugar-shaped molecule called DNJ.
Turmeric Root
The rhizome behind curry colour and one of the most studied plant compounds alive.
Juniper Berry
Not a berry at all but a cone, and the reason gin tastes the way it does.
Maca Root
A root crop grown higher up a mountain than almost any other food plant.
Goji Berry
The Ningxia berry that carries zeaxanthin in unusually large amounts.
Licorice Root
Fifty times sweeter than sugar by weight, and a digestive herb for millennia.
Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose (capsule), rice flour and magnesium stearate.
Order GlycoAidHow To Read This Panel
Ingredients on a supplement label are listed in descending order by weight. On this bottle that means Berberine carries more of the 500 mg than anything below it and licorice root carries the least. That is the entire amount of information the ordering gives you. It cannot tell you whether the first name is 300 mg or 60 mg.
Everything else on this page is an attempt to make that limitation useful rather than to talk around it.
The Evidence Grades
Every ingredient page carries one of four grades. They describe the research behind the ingredient, not behind this product, and they are not averaged into a single number anywhere on this site.
| Ingredient | Grade | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Berberine | Large | Many controlled human trials |
| Cinnamon Bark | Large | Many controlled human trials |
| Gymnema Sylvestre | Moderate | Several small human studies |
| Banaba Leaf | Moderate | Several small human studies |
| Bitter Melon | Moderate | Several small human studies |
| Alpha-Lipoic Acid | Large | Many controlled human trials |
| Chromium | Large | Many controlled human trials |
| Biotin | Settled | An established nutritional role |
| White Mulberry Leaf | Moderate | Several small human studies |
| Turmeric Root | Large | Many controlled human trials |
| Juniper Berry | Small | Long traditional use, limited modern trials |
| Maca Root | Small | Long traditional use, limited modern trials |
| Goji Berry | Small | Long traditional use, limited modern trials |
| Licorice Root | Moderate | Several small human studies |
The Four Jobs
Grouped by what they are actually doing, the panel reads more clearly. Glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity: Berberine, alpha-lipoic acid and Chromium. Carbohydrate absorption and sweet taste: gymnema, white mulberry and banaba leaf. Antioxidant support: turmeric, goji berry and again alpha-lipoic acid. Traditional-use ingredients: maca, juniper and licorice, with bitter melon and cinnamon bark alongside them.
Two Ingredients Worth Reading About Separately
Two names on this panel come up more than the rest. Berberine carries the largest research base here and leads the label, and chromium is the one ingredient with an established nutritional role rather than a contested one. Both have longer pieces in the reading room.
What The Blend Does Not Tell You
Research on these ingredients was done at specific doses, mostly on one ingredient at a time. A proprietary blend declares one combined weight, so no trial can be mapped onto this capsule directly. That is the single most important thing to understand about this label and it is why it appears on the homepage rather than in a footnote.
