What you get in every serving

Two capsules deliver:

• 148 mcg Chromium as chromium amino acid chelate — 420% DV
• 600 mcg Biotin — 2000% DV
• 100 mg Vitamin C as ascorbic acid — 110% DV
• 10 mg Vitamin E as dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate — 70% DV
• 23 mg Magnesium as magnesium oxide — 6% DV
• 7.5 mg Zinc as zinc oxide — 70% DV
• 1 mg Manganese as manganese amino acid chelate — 45% DV
• 620 mg Blood Sugar Blend — eleven ingredients, listed below
• Non-GMO
• A gelatin capsule, so this one isn't vegetarian

The vitamins and minerals

Chromium leads the panel as a chromium amino acid chelate — chelated means the mineral is bound to amino acids rather than supplied as a simple salt. 148 mcg is 420% of the Daily Value.

Biotin, also called vitamin B7, comes in at 600 mcg, or 2000% DV — a percentage that looks dramatic mostly because the Daily Value for biotin is so small.

The rest fill in a familiar spread: vitamin C as ascorbic acid at 100 mg, vitamin E as dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate at 10 mg, magnesium as magnesium oxide at 23 mg, zinc as zinc oxide at 7.5 mg, and manganese as manganese amino acid chelate at 1 mg. Each is printed with its exact chemical form — the detail most labels leave out.

Inside the 620 mg blood sugar blend

The blend is listed as a single 620 mg total, so the panel doesn't break out how much of each ingredient it holds. It's printed in this order:

Bitter melon extract, from the fruit of a warty tropical gourd. Cinnamon — specifically Cinnamomum cassia bark, the common supermarket cinnamon, rather than Ceylon. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract, which is licorice root with the glycyrrhizin component taken out. Gymnema sylvestre leaf, a woody climbing vine from India. Banaba leaf extract, from a flowering tree native to Southeast Asia. L-taurine, an amino acid. Mulberry fruit powder, from fresh fruit. Yarrow herb powder, the whole herb of a common meadow flower. Cayenne pepper extract, from the fruit. Alpha lipoic acid, a sulphur-containing compound found naturally in the body and in foods. And juniper berry powder — the same berry that flavours gin.

How it's taken

Two capsules daily with 6-8 oz of water. Bitter melon, gymnema and cayenne are all genuinely hard to drink, so the capsule is the only practical way to take eleven things at once without tasting them. The shell is gelatin and the only other ingredient is brown rice flour.

Who it's for

Anyone who'd otherwise be stacking a chromium supplement, a cinnamon capsule and a gymnema sylvestre bottle separately. It's non-GMO. Because the capsule is gelatin rather than plant cellulose, it isn't suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

How to use it

As a dietary supplement, adults take two (2) capsules daily. For best results, take with 6-8 oz (177-237ml) of water or as directed by healthcare professional.

Other ingredients

Gelatin (capsule), Brown Rice Flour.
