From the Supplement Facts panel on the label. Lines 1-21 make up the blend, listed from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)). Other ingredients (water, natural flavors, potassium sorbate, stevia, xylitol, citrus extract) are left out of the count.

How are the 21 blend ingredients grouped?

They fall into three groups: 12 plant lines, two other compounds and seven amino acids or close relatives.

Plants (places 1-12)

Maca, African mango seed, grape seed, guarana, eleuthero, astragalus, green tea, gymnema, coleus, cayenne, grapefruit seed, Panax ginseng.

Compounds

Raspberry ketones (13th) and a licorice compound (18th).

Amino acids

L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta alanine, GABA, L-tryptophan, L-carnitine.

How much of each ingredient is in the drops?

The label does not say. Only the total is printed, so each amount is a ceiling you can work out, not a number you can read.

An even split is 15.47 / 21, about 0.74 mg a line. The place in the list sets a cap: place k holds at most 15.47 / k mg.

FAQ01

Glyco Defender questions people ask

How many ingredients are in Glyco Defender?

The label shows 22 lines: chromium plus 21 blend ingredients. The sales page says "20 research-informed botanicals and nutrients", which does not match.

Does Glyco Defender contain caffeine?

Guarana and green tea both supply caffeine, but the label prints no amount (MSKCC, Guarana). Their blend shares are small. Still, people who limit caffeine should ask a clinician first.

Which Glyco Defender ingredient comes first?

Maca root is first in the blend, so it has the largest share by weight.
