About Goglycoharmony

A retailer that publishes what it found, including the parts that do not help sell anything.

Quick answer

Goglycoharmony is the USA Authorized Glyco Harmony Retailer operating from 500 Park Avenue, Floor 8, New York, NY 10022, with returns handled at 712 Fifth Avenue, Floor 8, New York, NY 10019. We are not the manufacturer; the label says distributed by Instituto Experience, Lakeland FL, 33804. We earn a commission on orders placed through this site. Our editorial rules are that the printed label beats every other source, that nothing is invented, and that anything missing is printed as missing.

Who we are

Goglycoharmony is a retail and review desk for one product. We take orders, we publish what the label says, and we say what we think of it.

We are not the manufacturer and we do not pretend otherwise. The label reads distributed by Instituto Experience, Lakeland FL, 33804, as printed on the label, with the telephone number +1 507 448 8190 and the address [email protected]. No manufacturer is named on the pack at all.

Our office is 500 Park Avenue, Floor 8, New York, NY 10022. Returns are handled at 712 Fifth Avenue, Floor 8, New York, NY 10019. The order desk is +1 (925) 231-0148 and this website's own address is [email protected].

Those are the only addresses and numbers connected with this site. We have not invented an extra street, a laboratory, a licence or a head office to look larger than we are.

The five rules we write by

The printed label wins. Where the label and the brief disagree, the label is right and the disagreement gets printed. There are seven such conflicts on this product and they are all listed on the home page.

Never invent a fact. No price, no doctor, no laboratory, no testimonial, no study and no PubMed ID that we cannot point at. Anything we do not have is printed as not published.

Only cite what we opened. Every source in our reference list is a page we read. Where a source reports its own weaknesses, we quote those too.

Never write FDA approved. No supplement is. We write made in an FDA-registered facility, and then we explain what that means.

Publish the criticism on the same page as the buy button. Not in a footer, not behind a link. The first substantive section of our home page is about the phrase on the front of the bottle.

Why a retailer would do this

Because the alternative is a page that agrees with everything and is therefore worth nothing. A reader who can see us criticise the product we sell has some reason to believe the rest.

How we make money, stated plainly

Orders placed through the buy buttons on this site earn this site a commission. That is the whole of our funding model and there is nothing hidden about it.

It creates an obvious incentive to be positive, and the honest way to handle an incentive is to disclose it and then act against it where the evidence requires.

So: this site scores the product it sells 1.3 out of 5, and the highest-scoring rows are both about the label rather than the formula. It publishes ten things the label does not tell you. It refuses to print a star rating because the one we were given is marked as layout copy. It opens its home page with the caffeine.

None of that is good for conversion. All of it is on the site.

Three Glyco Harmony bottles, front label

We are a retailer for one product and a review desk for the same one. That is a conflict of interest, we state it on five pages, and the way we handle it is to publish everything we found — including a chart showing that the chromium in this bottle delivers a fifteenth of the dose the studies used.

Where our sources disagree with each other

ConflictWhat we did
A bonus e-book called <i>Diabetes Freedom</i>, on a product that may not name a diseaseThis is the most serious conflict on this desk. The label is careful: its claim is <i>Blood Sugar Support*</i>, structure-function wording, asterisked to a boxed FDA disclaimer stating the product &ldquo;is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease&rdquo;. The bonus e-book supplied with it is titled <b>DIABETES FREEDOM</b>. A second is <i>Glycemic Rebalance Challenge</i> and a third is <i>Nerve Renew Guide</i> — nerve damage being a complication of diabetes, and nothing on this panel relating to nerves at all. 21 CFR 101.93 defines a disease claim broadly and lists the factors by which one may be made, including the name of a product and statements in accompanying material. <i>Freedom</i> from a named disease is not a structure-function claim in any reading we can construct.
The marketing names six ingredients; the label names twenty-threeThe brief's ingredient list and the brand's own <i>Inside Glyco Harmony</i> artwork both name six: chromium picolinate, gymnema, African mango, green tea, maca and panax ginseng. The Supplement Facts panel declares chromium plus <b>twenty-two</b> blend ingredients. All six are genuinely present — but seventeen more are not mentioned anywhere in the marketing, including guarana, capsicum, coleus forskohlii, eight amino acids and a licorice derivative. Picking six names out of twenty-three and building the artwork around them is a choice about what a buyer is shown.
A glucose meter reading in the product artworkThe main product render places the bottle in front of a blood glucose meter displaying a reading, and one bonus cover shows a finger-prick test being taken. A numeric glucose result is exactly the kind of outcome a dietary supplement may not claim, and the label's own wording carefully does not claim it. The picture is doing something the text is not allowed to do.
The panel says 1 ml; the instruction says one dropper or twoThe Supplement Facts panel is written per 1 ml serving, 60 servings per container. The suggested use says <i>Take 1 or 2 droppers full daily</i>. Those are not the same statement. At two droppers every amount on the panel doubles and the bottle is a thirty-day supply. The label never says how much a full dropper holds, so the two halves of it cannot be reconciled by a buyer.
An unqualified USA badge beside a correctly qualified labelThe label prints <i>Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients</i> — the qualified construction the FTC describes, and the right one. The listing then carries a roundel reading simply <b>Made in USA</b>, unqualified. The FTC reserves that for products &ldquo;all or virtually all&rdquo; made in the United States. The label is better than its own badge.
A 100% natural roundel over a manufactured mineral and two preservativesThe panel declares chromium picolinate, a manufactured mineral complex, and the other ingredients include sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and a 97% steviol glycoside isolate. All ordinary, all disclosed. <i>Natural</i> has no regulatory definition for a supplement, so the roundel is not false so much as empty.
A bar of journal and newspaper logos with nothing attachedThe pack contains a strip of four marks — a journal wordmark, <b>Nature</b>, <b>The Boston Globe</b> and the <b>American Physiological Society</b> — arranged where a citation list would sit. No paper, author, year, title or finding accompanies any of them, and nothing in the material we were given connects any of the four to this product or its ingredients at these amounts. This is the fifth product in this review series to arrive carrying that same strip.
Three botanical names are misspelled on the panel<i>Lepidium mevenii</i> for <i>Lepidium meyenii</i>. <i>Irvingia gabonesis</i> for <i>Irvingia gabonensis</i>. <i>L-Typtophan</i> for L-Tryptophan. None of these changes what is in the bottle, and all three are printed on it, so all three are recorded here. A panel is the one part of a label written to somebody else's format, and it is worth proof-reading.

What nobody published about this product

  • How much of anything is in the blend. Twenty-two ingredients share 200 mg and not one of them carries a number. Apart from 0.7 micrograms of chromium, that is the whole product.
  • How many millilitres a full dropper holds. The panel is written per 1 ml and the instruction says <i>1 or 2 droppers full</i>, so without that figure a buyer cannot know whether they have taken one serving, two, or something in between.
  • Which dose to take. <i>1 or 2 droppers full daily</i> is a choice with no guidance attached, and it decides whether the bottle is a thirty-day or a sixty-day supply.
  • How much gymnema is in a serving. It is the botanical most associated with blood sugar, eighth of twenty-two by weight, and it carries no standardisation either.
  • How much monoammonium glycyrrhizinate is in a serving. NCCIH warns that even small amounts of glycyrrhizin have been linked to severe adverse effects in people with hypertension, which describes a large share of this product's likely buyers.
  • How much caffeine is in a serving. Guarana is third by weight and green tea seventh, and neither carries a caffeine figure.
  • Any standardisation, on any of the twenty-two extracts. Not one percentage appears, so even if an amount were printed it could not be converted into a quantity of the compound the research is written about.
  • Any interaction statement. NCCIH says Asian ginseng might lower blood sugar and that anyone with diabetes should speak to their provider first, and warns generally about herbal supplements taken with conventional diabetes drugs. The caution panel's general advice is doing all of that work.
  • A street address for the distributor, and the name of whoever actually manufactured the liquid.
  • A storage temperature. Two storage lines are printed and neither carries a number, on a liquid product where heat matters more than it does for a capsule.
  • A price. Nothing was published to us in advance, so the checkout is the only figure.
  • Verified reviews. The block supplied in the brief is marked in that same document as layout copy, so it is not evidence and we have not printed it as such.
  • A certificate of analysis. A lot code and a CoA reference were supplied, and the brief describes both as draft labels rather than lab proof.
  • An expiry date. Nothing in the material we were given carries one; the brief says the lot and best-before appear on the base of the bottle when the bottle shows them.

About Goglycoharmony: common questions

Who runs this website?

We are a USA Authorized Glyco Harmony Retailer. We sell the product and we wrote this review of it, which is a conflict of interest and the reason every critical figure here is sourced and every source is linked.

Who makes it?

Not stated. The label says <i>distributed by</i> Instituto Experience of Lakeland, Florida, which identifies a distributor rather than a manufacturer. No facility is named anywhere.

Do you make money if I buy?

Yes. A purchase through this site earns us money. That is why the dosage page leads with 0.7 micrograms rather than with benefits.

What did you score it?

1.3 out of 5, across eight weighted categories. Claim honesty scores highest at 3.5, because the bottle's own wording is careful. Panel completeness, standardisation and dose against research all score 0.5, which is the lowest this desk has recorded on any of them.

Why are there no reviews on this site?

Because we have none we can verify. The brief supplied a star score, an order count and eight named testimonials, and the same document states that the reviews, star scores and order counts in it are layout copy. We do not print invented people.

Which number do I call?

+1 (925) 231-0148 for anything to do with an order — tracking, changes, refunds. The website email address, [email protected], cannot see orders; it is for pages, typos, privacy and press. The +1 (507) number printed on the bottle belongs to the distributor, not to this desk.

Is it FDA approved?

No dietary supplement is. The FDA &ldquo;does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are marketed&rdquo;. The label says the product has been manufactured in an FDA <i>registered</i> facility, which means the factory filed an administrative registration. It is not an inspection result and it is not an endorsement, and no facility or number is given to look up.

One bottle is 60 servings of 1 ml, so a bottle is sixty days at one dropper or thirty at two. The 60-day guarantee runs from purchase, not from delivery, and the price is shown at checkout.
