The big eight
What ingredients are in GlucoZen?
-
01
Chromium
On the label: Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate) · 0.7 mcg per 1 mL (2% DV); 1.4 mcg a day
The headline mineral in many blood sugar formulas
Tiny dose; ADA does not recommend it for glucoseWhat it isEssential trace mineral, the only printed amount. Adults need about 25-35 mcg a day; glucose trials are inconsistent.
Watch forChromium can add to insulin and other diabetes drugs. The amount here is tiny, but tell your clinician.

02
Gymnema
On the label: Gymnema (leaf) extract (Gymnema Sylvestre) · Not printed (at most 25 mg per serving by label order)
Marketed for blood sugar and sugar cravings
Weak; not shown to treat diabetesWhat it isAyurvedic herb. Small trials showed mild drops in fasting glucose; a typical dose is 400 mg three times a day.
Watch forCould add to diabetes medicines. Rare liver injury has been reported.

03
Asian and Siberian ginseng
On the label: Asian Ginseng (root) extract (Panax Ginseng), Eleuthero (root) extract · Not printed (at most about 17 mg and 40 mg)
Marketed for energy and blood sugar
InconclusiveWhat it isRoot herbs. Ginseng's blood sugar research is inconclusive and conflicting; eleuthero's human studies are limited.
Watch forGinseng may affect blood clotting; eleuthero raised digoxin levels in a case report. Insomnia is common.

04
Guarana (caffeine)
On the label: Guarana (Paullinia cupana) Seed Extract · Not printed (at most about 67 mg of extract per serving); caffeine not printed
Energy and metabolism angle
Caffeine, not a blood sugar herbWhat it isNatural caffeine source. Most of guarana's effects come from caffeine; 400 mg of caffeine a day is the usual adult ceiling.
Watch forAdds an unknown amount of caffeine, on top of green tea. Avoid with other stimulants; ask first if you take a blood thinner.

05
Green tea extract
On the label: Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) Leaf Extract · Not printed (at most about 29 mg per serving)
Marketed for metabolism
A safety flag, not a benefitWhat it isLeaf extract with caffeine. Extract pills are a well-established, rare cause of liver injury.
Watch forStop and call a clinician for dark urine, yellow skin or eyes, or belly pain.
Full profile -
06
Licorice compound
On the label: Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate · Not printed (at most about 11 mg per serving)
Probably sweetness and flavor
A safety flag, not a benefitWhat it isLicorice-derived sweetener. Glycyrrhizin can cause heart rhythm problems, more likely with large amounts or long use.
Watch forPeople with high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, or a salty diet should ask a clinician first.
Full profile -
07
The 8 amino acids
On the label: L-Glutamine, L-Tyrosine, L-Arginine, Beta-Alanine, GABA, L-Ornithine HCl, L-Tryptophan, L-Carnitine · Not printed (at most about 14 mg down to 9 mg each)
Likely there to lengthen the list
Tiny amounts; little relevanceWhat it isAmino acids. Food sources supply far more; L-arginine may lower blood sugar; L-tryptophan products were recalled in 1989.
Watch forL-arginine with nitrates or sildenafil can drop blood pressure too low. Ask first if you take either.
Full profile -
08
Xylitol and stevia
On the label: Other Ingredients: Deionized Water, Organic Citrus Extract, Natural Flavors, Stevia (Steviol Glycosides), Xylitol · Not printed
Sweeten the drops without sugar
Sweeteners, not activesWhat it isSweeteners and base. Xylitol does not raise insulin in people but is dangerous to dogs; high-purity stevia is GRAS.
Watch forKeep the bottle away from dogs: xylitol can drop a dog's blood sugar within an hour. Call a vet right away if a dog gets into it.
Full profile
The other 22 actives share one 200 mg blend. Every line is typed out on the Supplement Facts page.
The only printed amount
How much chromium is in GlucoZen?
Each 1 mL holds 0.7 mcg of chromium picolinate. Twice daily, that is 1.4 mcg, about 4% of the 35 mcg Daily Value (NIH ODS, Chromium). It is the one amount you can check. The chromium profile compares it with study doses.

Blend ingredients are listed from heaviest to lightest (FDA, Labeling guide), so the ingredient in place k can weigh at most 200 ÷ k mg per serving. That is our math from the label, not a lab test. Chromium sits outside the blend with its own amount: 0.7 mcg.
Two servings a day make 400 mg of blend. LiverTox lists gymnema alone at 400 mg three times daily (LiverTox, Gymnema), three times the whole daily blend.

What are the other ingredients in GlucoZen?
Water, organic citrus extract, natural flavors, stevia and xylitol form the base. No sugar is listed.
- Stevia: FDA has not questioned GRAS notices for high-purity steviol glycosides (FDA, Sweeteners).
- Xylitol: one study tied high blood xylitol to heart events, an association, not proof (Witkowski, Eur Heart J 2024).
Xylitol can crash a dog's blood sugar within an hour. Call a vet right away if a dog gets into it (FDA, Xylitol and dogs).
Label vs marketing
Is berberine one of the GlucoZen ingredients?
No. The brand info site names seven ingredients the bottle lacks.

"About five drops in warm water before breakfast, once daily"
- Okinawa honeyNot on the label
- Berberine HClNot on the label
- Cinnamon bark extractNot on the label
- ResveratrolNot on the label
- Turmeric extractNot on the label
- Bifidobacterium breveNot on the label

The bottle label
"Adults, take 1 mL (approximately 2 droppers full) twice daily"
- Chromium (as chromium picolinate)0.7 mcg
- Proprietary Herbal Blend200 mg
- 22 blend ingredients, maca to L-carnitineamounts hidden
- Directions1 mL twice daily
Not one of the seven ingredients named in the marketing appears on the Supplement Facts panel. Go by the label on the bottle you receive.
Some evidence suggests berberine modestly lowers glucose (NCCIH, Berberine), but that does not apply to a bottle without it (glucoszen.com).

Ask first
Which GlucoZen ingredients need extra care?
Chromium and L-arginine may add to diabetes medicines (NIH ODS, Chromium) (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine). Guarana and green tea add unprinted caffeine, and licorice compound affects blood pressure (NCCIH, Licorice).
FAQ
GlucoZen ingredients FAQ
What are the main ingredients in GlucoZen drops?
Chromium at 0.7 mcg and a 200 mg blend led by maca root, grape seed and guarana seed. Eight amino acids and a licorice compound close the list.
How many ingredients does GlucoZen have?
GlucoZen lists 23 actives: chromium plus 22 in one blend. Only chromium has a printed amount.
Does GlucoZen contain cinnamon or turmeric?
Neither is on the bottle label. The brand info site names both, along with berberine and probiotics, but the Supplement Facts panel lists a different formula. Follow the label.
Is there gymnema in GlucoZen?
Yes, eighth of 22, so at most 25 mg per serving. LiverTox lists a typical gymnema dose of 400 mg three times daily.
What sweetener is used in GlucoZen?
Stevia and xylitol, with no sugar listed. Xylitol is dangerous for dogs, so store the bottle out of a pet's reach.
Why does GlucoZen use a proprietary blend?
A blend lets a maker print one total weight, here 200 mg, instead of each amount. FDA allows it if ingredients appear in weight order (FDA, Labeling guide).
