Glyco Reset Proprietary Blend Explained, Word by Word
The Glyco Reset panel has a line that says Proprietary Blend, 200 mg, and then a long list. Each word on that stretch of the label has a plain meaning, and a limit.

The Glyco Reset label prints chromium at 0.7 mcg and a proprietary blend of 200 mg that names 21 ingredients. A blend may show a total and list its parts in descending order by weight, without an amount for each. So maca root extract is the largest share and L-carnitine HCl the smallest, but no individual amount is published.
Key facts
- The panel prints chromium (as chromium picolinate) 0.7 mcg, which is 2% of the Daily Value.
- The proprietary blend is 200 mg per 1 ml serving and names 21 ingredients.
- The names run in descending order by weight: maca root extract first, L-carnitine HCl last.
- No amount is printed for any single blend ingredient.
- The blend has a dagger instead of a Daily Value. That means a Daily Value is not established.
- No published human study has tested this finished formula.
What is a proprietary blend on a supplement label, in plain words?
A proprietary blend is a mix of ingredients that a company lists under one name. The rules let it print the total weight of the mix and the names inside, in order of weight. They do not make it print how much of each name is inside.
This is the standard blend definition people search for, and Glyco Reset's label follows it. The line reads Proprietary Blend, then 200 mg, then a dagger. The 21 names sit underneath.
Companies use blends for a reason, which is to keep the recipe private. The cost to the reader is that the recipe stays private from them too.
What do the main blend words mean, from amino acid to total?
- 200 mg total
- The combined weight of the whole blend in one 1 ml serving. Divided evenly across 21 names it would average about 9.5 mg each, but nothing says it is split evenly. Treat that figure as arithmetic only.
- Amino acid
- A building block found in protein foods. Seven items in the blend are amino acids or close relatives: L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta alanine, GABA, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine HCl.
- Dagger
- The small mark beside the blend. It points to a note that a Daily Value is not established. That is normal for a blend.
- Daily Value
- A reference amount that lets the label print a percent. Chromium has one, so it shows 2%. The blend does not.
- Descending order by weight
- The names are printed from the heaviest share to the lightest. It shows rank, not size.
- Extract
- A concentrated form of a plant part, such as a root, leaf or seed. Twelve of the 21 names are plant extracts.
- Mcg
- A microgram, a very small unit of weight. Chromium is printed in mcg on the Glyco Reset panel.
- Standardized
- A term for an extract made to a set level of one compound. The Glyco Reset label does not use it, so no such level is published.
- Serving
- The 1 ml dropperful. Every amount on the panel is per serving.
What does the order of the 21 names tell you?
It tells you the ranking and nothing else. Maca root extract is first, so it makes up the largest share of the 200 mg. African mango seed extract is second. L-carnitine HCl is last, so it is the smallest share.
The order cannot tell you how far apart the shares are. Maca could be most of the blend, or only a little more than the second name. The label does not say. That is the whole limit of a blend, and it is why the amount of any single name stays unknown.
| Position | Name on the label | Type |
|---|---|---|
| First | Maca Root Extract | Root extract |
| Second | African Mango Seed Extract | Seed extract |
| Third to twelfth | Grape seed, guarana seed, eleuthero root, astragalus root, green tea leaf, gymnema leaf, coleus forskohlii root, cayenne fruit, grapefruit seed and ginseng root extracts | Plant extracts |
| Thirteenth | Raspberry Ketones | Plant compound |
| Fourteenth to seventeenth | L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta alanine | Amino acids |
| Eighteenth | Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate | Licorice compound |
| Nineteenth and twentieth | GABA, L-tryptophan | Amino acids |
| Twenty-first | L-Carnitine HCl | Amino acid derivative |
Can you work out a dose for each ingredient?
No, and this is the question behind many searches for glyco reset dosage. The dosage on the label is one dropper full daily. That is the serving. It is not a dose of any single ingredient.
For chromium you can work out the amount, because it is printed: 0.7 mcg per serving. For the other 21 names you cannot, because only the blend total is given. A study dose for gymnema or ginseng cannot be set beside a dropperful.
That is not a fault in the label. It follows the blend rules. It does mean that nobody, including this site, can say that any one ingredient is present at the level a study used.
Which Glyco Reset ingredients are clinically backed?
People ask which ingredients are clinically backed for sugar balance. Here is the honest answer. No published human study has tested this finished formula. Research exists on some single ingredients, and it is context, not proof.
The NIH calls the study results on chromium and blood sugar mixed. On ginseng, the NCCIH states that Asian ginseng might lower blood sugar. Neither statement is a claim that this bottle does anything. The label's claim is the narrow one: support for healthy glucose utilization.
Which names in the blend are worth a word with your doctor?
- Chromium and ginseng root extract. They might add to the effect of insulin or other glucose-lowering medicine.
- Guarana seed and green tea leaf extracts. Natural sources of caffeine. The label prints no caffeine figure.
- Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate. A salt of glycyrrhizin from licorice. In the NCCIH's account, glycyrrhizin has been tied to an irregular heartbeat at high intakes, and to severe effects in people with high blood pressure.
- Xylitol in the liquid. Fine in food amounts for people, dangerous to dogs.
Take a photograph of the full panel to your pharmacist. They can read all 22 names against your medicines in a few minutes, which no web page can do.
What can you ask the seller about the blend?
You may ask order support, or write to the website desk, for the amount of any single ingredient. Treat any answer as the seller's statement, since this site cannot check it. We do not know of a published breakdown.
Questions worth asking are short ones. How much caffeine is in one dropperful? Is there a certificate of analysis for my lot? Who makes the product? This site publishes no test report, and its lot and certificate references are filing references.
Frequently asked questions
What is in the Glyco Reset proprietary blend?
It is a 200 mg mix of 21 named ingredients, printed per 1 ml serving. The label gives the total and the names in order of weight, but not the amount of each.
What is the biggest ingredient in the Glyco Reset blend?
Maca root extract, because it is listed first and the list runs in descending order by weight. The share itself is not published.
How much gymnema or ginseng is in Glyco Reset?
Not published. The label prints only the 200 mg blend total, so no single ingredient amount can be stated.
Is the Glyco Reset blend clinically proven?
No published human study has tested the finished formula. Research on single ingredients is context and not proof for this bottle.
What is the Glyco Reset dosage?
The label says take one dropper full daily, which is a 1 ml serving. That is a serving, not a dose of any single ingredient.
Does the Glyco Reset label list caffeine?
It prints no caffeine figure. Guarana seed extract and green tea leaf extract are in the blend, and both are natural sources of caffeine.
Our view
A blend is not a trick. It is a permitted way to label a mix. But it moves the work to the reader, and it leaves a gap exactly where a careful buyer wants to look. Glyco Reset follows the rule and leaves that gap.
We prefer to name the gap than to paper over it. The 200 mg total is real. The order of the names is real. The amount of each name is not published, and no sales line can fill it in.
If a medicine or a condition is part of your picture, that gap is a reason to ask first. Show the panel to your pharmacist. This page is general information and does not replace their advice.
