What the label tells you, and what it does not
GlycoFortin discloses one specific amount (chromium, 0.7 mcg) and names 22 further ingredients inside a shared 200mg proprietary blend. Averaging that blend across 22 compounds works out to roughly 9mg per ingredient — well below typical standalone research doses for nearly all of them.
All 23 ingredients
Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate) — 0.7 mcg — 2% DV
The only individually disclosed amount. Clinical research on chromium and blood sugar typically uses 200 to 1,000 mcg, making 0.7 mcg a small fraction of the studied range.
Gymnema Sylvestre — Shared 200mg blend
One of the most clinically validated blood-sugar herbs, typically studied at 200 to 400mg on its own.
Green Tea Extract (EGCG) — Shared 200mg blend
Catechins with meta-analysis support for fat oxidation and modest glucose reduction, typically studied at 270 to 800mg.
Coleus Forskohlii — Shared 200mg blend
Forskolin activates a pathway tied to metabolic and glucose effects, typically studied at 250mg of a 10% extract.
Guarana — Shared 200mg blend, contains caffeine
A natural caffeine source for thermogenic energy support.
Capsicum Annuum — Shared 200mg blend
Capsaicin activates receptors tied to thermogenesis.
Maca, Siberian Ginseng, Panax Ginseng, Astragalus — Shared 200mg blend
Four adaptogenic botanicals for energy stability and stress-related support.
African Mango — Shared 200mg blend
Has randomized controlled trial data for modest weight and cholesterol reduction at standalone doses.
Grapefruit — Shared 200mg blend
Provides naringenin, a flavanone antioxidant.
Raspberry Ketones — Shared 200mg blend
Has in-vitro lipolysis data but no published human clinical trials for weight loss — the weakest-evidenced ingredient in the blend.
8 Amino Acids — Shared 200mg blend
L-Glutamine, L-Tyrosine, L-Arginine, Beta-Alanine, GABA, L-Ornithine, L-Tryptophan and L-Carnitine. Clinical doses for these individually range from 500mg to 3,000+mg, far above what a shared blend can provide per compound.
Grape Seed Extract — Shared 200mg blend
Provides OPC antioxidant support.
Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate — Shared 200mg blend
A licorice derivative with anti-inflammatory properties that may affect blood pressure at higher doses.
The caffeine question
Guarana naturally contains caffeine. If you are caffeine-sensitive, this is worth knowing before ordering, even though the total blend amount is small.
