Glyco Reset ingredients that call for a word with your doctor
Chromium and ginseng. The NIH notes chromium with insulin or other diabetes medicine might cause low blood sugar (ODS), and NCCIH says Asian ginseng might lower blood sugar (NCCIH). If you take glucose-lowering medicine, the prescriber should know.
Guarana and green tea. Both are natural sources of caffeine, and the label prints no caffeine figure (NCCIH on green tea).
The licorice compound. Glycyrrhizin from licorice has been linked to an irregular heartbeat, especially in large amounts, and even small amounts can matter for people with heart or kidney conditions (NCCIH on licorice root).
Xylitol. Safe for people in food amounts, but dangerous to dogs (FDA).
Each Glyco Reset blend ingredient in a line or two
Maca root extract comes from a root vegetable grown high in the Andes. It is listed first, so it is the largest part of the blend by weight.
African mango seed extract is made from the seed of Irvingia gabonensis, a West African fruit tree whose seeds are also used in cooking.
Grape seed extract is made from the seeds of wine grapes and is a source of plant polyphenols.
Guarana seed extract comes from an Amazonian climbing plant. Its seeds are naturally rich in caffeine, which is why guarana appears in energy drinks.
Eleuthero root extract, printed by its Latin name Eleutherococcus senticosus, is sometimes sold as Siberian ginseng, although it is a different plant from Asian ginseng.
Astragalus root extract comes from Astragalus membranaceus, a root used in traditional Chinese herbal formulas.
Green tea leaf extract carries the tea plant’s catechins and its caffeine.
Gymnema leaf extract comes from Gymnema sylvestre, a climbing plant from India long used in formulas sold for blood sugar.
Coleus forskohlii root extract comes from a plant in the mint family and is the source of a compound called forskolin.
Cayenne pepper fruit extract carries capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot.
Grapefruit seed extract is made from the seeds and pulp of grapefruit. It is not grapefruit juice.
Ginseng root extract is printed without a species. NCCIH notes that Asian ginseng might lower blood sugar, which matters for anyone on glucose-lowering medicine.
Raspberry ketones are the compounds that give raspberries their smell.
L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine and L-tryptophan are amino acids found in protein foods. Beta alanine and L-carnitine HCl are familiar from sports formulas, and GABA is an amino acid the body also makes.
Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate is a salt of glycyrrhizin, the sweet compound in licorice root, and it is the blend ingredient most worth mentioning to a doctor if you have high blood pressure or a heart or kidney condition.
Reading the Glyco Reset list for allergies and sensitivities
Plant allergies
If you react to grapes, citrus, peppers or ginseng, look for grape seed, grapefruit seed, citrus extract, cayenne and ginseng on the list and ask your doctor.
Caffeine sensitivity
Guarana and green tea both carry caffeine. Count them alongside coffee, tea and energy drinks.
Sugar alcohols
Xylitol sweetens the drops. In a 1 ml serving the amount is small, but the label does not print it.
Glyco Reset ingredients: common questions
Which Glyco Reset ingredient has the most weight in the blend?
Maca root extract, because a proprietary blend lists its ingredients in descending order by weight and maca comes first.
Does Glyco Reset contain sugar?
No sugar appears on the printed label. The drops are sweetened with xylitol and stevia extract.
Does Glyco Reset contain apple cider vinegar?
Not according to the printed label. Some seller graphics show a different list with apple cider vinegar; this site follows the label.
Is Glyco Reset vegetarian?
The label does not say. Nothing on the ingredient list is an animal product by name, but the label makes no vegetarian statement, so this site makes none either.
