Everything Inside GlycoAid
Fourteen names inside one 500 mg proprietary formulation. A page each, with an evidence grade on every one.
Berberine
First on the label, and the compound with the deepest research file here.02Cinnamon Bark
A cupboard spice with a longer trial history than anything else on this list.03Gymnema Sylvestre
The leaf whose Hindi name, gurmar, means sugar destroyer.04Banaba Leaf
A Philippine tree leaf carrying corosolic acid, brewed as tea for generations.05Bitter Melon
A gourd eaten as a vegetable across three continents.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Made by your own mitochondria, and active in water and fat alike.07Chromium
The only item here with a settled nutritional role rather than a research file.08Biotin
Vitamin B7, required by five carboxylase enzymes.09White Mulberry Leaf
Silkworm food, carrying a molecule that mimics the shape of sugar.10Turmeric Root
The rhizome behind curry colour, and one of the most researched plants alive.
Juniper Berry
A cone rather than a berry, and the flavour that defines gin.12Maca Root
An Andean root crop grown at an altitude almost nothing else tolerates.13Goji Berry
A Ningxia fruit carrying more zeaxanthin than almost anything else edible.14Licorice Root
Sweeter than sugar by weight, and the only item here with a hard ceiling.Listed separately from the blend: the cellulose shell, rice flour, magnesium stearate.
Order GlycoAidReading The Order Of The List
Supplement panels print blend ingredients heaviest first. Here that puts Berberine at the top of the 500 mg and licorice root at the bottom. That ranking is the entire quantitative signal available, and it cannot say whether the gap between them is ten milligrams or three hundred.
Everything else on this page is an attempt to make that limit useful rather than to talk around it.
The Four Grades
Every panel page carries one of four grades. They describe the research behind the ingredient and not behind this product, and they are never averaged into a single figure anywhere on this site.
| Name | 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 | Settled | An established nutritional role |
| 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 use, thin modern research |
| Maca Root | Small | Long use, thin modern research |
| Goji Berry | Small | Long use, thin modern research |
| Licorice Root | Moderate | Several small human studies |
Four Jobs, Grouped
Read by job rather than by line, the panel makes far more sense. Glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity: Berberine, alpha-lipoic acid and Chromium. Carbohydrate digestion and sweet taste: gymnema, white mulberry and banaba leaf. Antioxidant pathways: Turmeric Root, goji berry and again alpha-lipoic acid. Long use with thin files: maca, juniper and licorice, with bitter melon and cinnamon bark alongside them.
What A Combined Weight Withholds
Research on these names was carried out on isolated ingredients at stated doses, mostly one at a time. A proprietary blend publishes one total, so no trial maps onto this capsule. That is the most important thing to understand about this label, which is why it sits on the front page here rather than in a footnote.
