In label order. The blend is listed from most to least by weight, so maca has the largest share and L-carnitine the smallest (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)). Check the panel on your own bottle.
02Research
Which ingredients have any blood sugar research?
Only a handful. Even those were studied alone, at far larger amounts, and the results were small.
| Ingredient | Studied amount | In 1 mL | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chromium | 200-1,000 mcg a day | 0.7 mcg | Slight drops in diabetes, unclear value (NIH ODS, Chromium) |
| Gymnema | 200-400 mg a day | Not disclosed, 25 mg at most | Small fasting drop (Drugs.com, Gymnema monograph) |
| Panax ginseng | 100 mg to 20 g, mostly root | Not disclosed | About 5.6 mg/dL fasting; no A1C change (Shishtar et al., PLoS One 2014) |
| L-carnitine | 2-3 g a day | Not disclosed, last in the blend | Some fasting change; more trials needed (NIH ODS, Carnitine) |
The rest have no blood sugar trials worth the name. African mango, coleus and raspberry ketones are weight-loss ingredients with weak data (NIH ODS, Dietary Supplements for Weight Loss). Health agencies find no herb proven to control diabetes (NCCIH, Diabetes and Dietary Supplements) (ADA, Vitamins & Supplements).
03Amounts
How much of each ingredient is in one dropper?
Nobody outside the maker knows. The label gives one total and a weight order.
The 200 mg blend split 22 ways averages about 9 mg a line. The order sets ceilings: the fourth line can be at most 50 mg, the eighth at most 25 mg. See the label explained page for the rule behind it (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)).
At the label's top dose, chromium reaches 1.4 mcg. That is under 1% of the smallest amount in the glucose trials.
04Medicines
Which ingredients matter if you take medicine?
Several lines carry known interaction flags, even at small amounts. Show the label to your pharmacist.
- Chromium, ginseng, gymnema: may add to diabetes medicines (NIH ODS, Chromium) (NCCIH, Asian Ginseng) (Drugs.com, Gymnema monograph).
- Guarana and green tea: caffeine, amount not printed (MSKCC, Guarana).
- Grapefruit: can raise levels of some statins and heart drugs (FDA, Grapefruit juice and drugs).
- Licorice compound, coleus, arginine: blood pressure effects (NCCIH, Licorice Root) (MSKCC, Forskolin (Coleus forskohlii)) (MSKCC, Arginine).
- L-tryptophan: caution with serotonin drugs (Drugs.com, L-tryptophan).
Keep taking prescribed medicine; never stop or change it because of a supplement.

08FAQ
Glyco Harmony questions people ask
What are the main ingredients in Glyco Harmony?
Chromium picolinate at 0.7 mcg per mL, then a 200 mg blend led by maca root, grape seed, guarana and African mango, with gymnema, ginseng, green tea and eight amino acids further down. The base is glycerin and water.
How many ingredients are in Glyco Harmony?
23 active lines: chromium plus 22 in the proprietary blend. Nine more make up the base: glycerin, water, lemon extract, stevia, xylitol, two preservatives, citric acid and natural flavors.
Which Glyco Harmony ingredient has the best evidence?
Chromium, gymnema and ginseng have the most human glucose data. Each showed small effects at doses far above anything one dropper can hold, and none was tested in this product.
Is Glyco Harmony vegetarian?
The label lists no animal ingredient, and the brand shows a vegetarian badge. No third-party certification is named. If it matters to you, ask the order desk before buying.
Why does Glyco Harmony include amino acids?
The label does not say. Eight amino acids sit at the end of the blend, so each is a few milligrams at most. Studies of them used grams (NIH ODS, Exercise & Athletic Performance).
Are the Glyco Harmony ingredients natural?
Most come from plants, but raspberry ketones may be synthetic, and the base has two preservatives, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. Natural also does not mean safe with every medicine.
