Juniper Berry In GlycoAid
A cone rather than a berry, and the flavour that defines gin.
Where It Comes From
Not a berry at all, but the fleshy cone of Juniperus communis, and the flavour that makes gin taste like gin.
What the research is about
Traditional digestive and diuretic use across Europe. There is laboratory and animal research; controlled human research is close to absent, and the grade printed here reflects that.
Why a small grade is printed rather than hidden
Averaging fourteen unequal evidence files into one confident sentence would make this panel look stronger than it is. Grading each name separately is the only honest alternative.
Evidence grade: Small. Long traditional use and thin modern controlled research. This page prints that rather than folding it into an average.

The Quantity Question
No research quantity has been established for juniper in this context, for the plain reason that the human work needed to establish one does not exist.
Cautions
Juniper is avoided during pregnancy and traditionally avoided by people with kidney conditions. At the scale a 500 mg fourteen-name blend permits these cautions are theoretical rather than practical, but they are why juniper gets a paragraph rather than silence.
Questions About Juniper Berry
What is juniper doing here?
It is a traditional-use ingredient with a long European history and a thin modern evidence base.
Is the evidence strong?
It is not, and this page says so rather than folding it into an average.
Is it safe?
Kitchen and supplement quantities are tolerated well. Not taken in pregnancy, and traditionally avoided where kidney conditions are present.
Is this the gin juniper?
The same species. Gin takes its flavour from Juniperus communis cones.
How It Sits In The Blend
Juniper Berry is printed inside one 500 mg proprietary formulation alongside thirteen other names, so the quantity here is unknown. That is the position on every panel page on this site, and 500 mg, divided works through what that arithmetic permits. The name above it on the panel is Turmeric Root and the one below is Maca Root.
