Glyco Harmony Ingredients List: All 23 Ingredients, One by One
Twenty-three names are printed on the panel. Only one has an amount. This guide walks the list in order and says what each line does and does not tell you.
The Glyco Harmony label lists chromium as chromium picolinate at 0.7 mcg, then a 200 mg proprietary blend of 22 ingredients with no individual amounts. The blend includes maca, grape seed, guarana, African mango, green tea, gymnema and panax ginseng. No extract carries a standardised percentage.

Key facts about the Glyco Harmony ingredients
- One printed amount: chromium (as chromium picolinate), 0.7 mcg, 2% of the Daily Value.
- One blend: 200 mg for 22 ingredients, with no amount for any single one.
- Order of the list: maca root extract first, L-carnitine base last.
- Standardisation: none printed for any extract.
- Other ingredients: glycerin, water, organic lemon extract, stevia extract 97% (Reb A), xylitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid, natural flavors.
- Marketing names six ingredients; the panel names twenty-three.
What are the ingredients in Glyco Harmony?
The panel is printed per 1 ml serving. It starts with chromium, then shows a proprietary blend of 200 mg, then lists 22 ingredients under the blend.
A proprietary blend means the maker prints the total weight and the names, but not the weight of each part. That is legal. It also means you cannot tell if the first name is most of the blend or the tenth name is a trace.
There is one piece of arithmetic that still works. A U.S. rule, 21 CFR 101.36(c), says blend ingredients are listed in descending order of predominance by weight. If this label follows that rule, the ingredient in position n can be no larger than the total divided by n. That gives a ceiling for each line. A ceiling is not an amount. There is no floor at all.
What does each Glyco Harmony ingredient allow, line by line?
Here is the blend in printed order, with the most it could weigh if the order follows the rule above. Spellings are as printed, including the three mistakes noted below the table.
| Position and ingredient | Most it could weigh per 1 ml |
|---|---|
| 1. Maca (Lepidium mevenii) root extract | 200 mg |
| 2. Grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract | 100 mg |
| 3. Guarana (Paullinia cupana) seed extract | 66.7 mg |
| 4. African mango (Irvingia gabonesis) seed extract | 50 mg |
| 5. Eleutherococcus senticosus root extract | 40 mg |
| 6. Astragalus root extract | 33.3 mg |
| 7. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaf extract | 28.6 mg |
| 8. Gymnema leaf extract | 25 mg |
| 9. Coleus forskohlii root extract | 22.2 mg |
| 10. Capsicum annuum fruit extract | 20 mg |
| 11. Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) fruit extract | 18.2 mg |
| 12. Panax ginseng aerial extract | 16.7 mg |
| 13. Raspberry ketones | 15.4 mg |
| 14. L-glutamine | 14.3 mg |
| 15. L-tyrosine | 13.3 mg |
| 16. L-arginine base | 12.5 mg |
| 17. Beta-alanine | 11.8 mg |
| 18. Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate | 11.1 mg |
| 19. GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) | 10.5 mg |
| 20. L-ornithine HCL | 10 mg |
| 21. L-Typtophan (as printed) | 9.5 mg |
| 22. L-carnitine base | 9.1 mg |
Three names are misspelled on the panel: Lepidium mevenii for meyenii, Irvingia gabonesis for gabonensis, and L-Typtophan for L-tryptophan. They do not change what is in the bottle. We repeat them as printed.
What does the chromium line say?
Chromium is the one ingredient with a number: 0.7 mcg per serving, labelled 2% of the Daily Value. The math is right, because the FDA Daily Value is 35 mcg.
The NIH says trials of chromium and blood glucose used between 1.28 and 1,000 mcg of chromium daily. It says a typical multivitamin carries 35 to 120 mcg, and that chromium supplements commonly give 200 to 500 mcg, with some up to 1,000 mcg. So 0.7 mcg is below every figure on that list.
That does not make it unsafe. The NIH notes that the Food and Nutrition Board set no upper limit for chromium. It does mean you should not think of this bottle as a chromium supplement in the usual sense.
What about gymnema, green tea, ginseng and the other botanicals?
Gymnema leaf extract is the plant most linked with blood sugar, and it sits eighth. Our source says clinical studies have usually used 200 or 400 mg of extract a day, standardised to 25% gymnemic acids. Here the ceiling is 25 mg and no standardisation is printed.
Green tea (seventh) and guarana (third) are both sources of caffeine. Neither has a caffeine figure on the label. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as a level for healthy adults, so caffeine is worth counting if you drink coffee.
Panax ginseng is declared as an aerial extract, not the root that most research uses. NCCIH says some evidence suggests Asian ginseng might lower blood sugar, and that people with diabetes should talk to their health care provider before using it.
The sales page also lists a healthy weight claim. The blend items that might relate to it are African mango, raspberry ketones, green tea and capsicum. Their ceilings are 50, 15.4, 28.6 and 20 mg, with no standardisation.
Why does monoammonium glycyrrhizinate matter?
It is the 18th line, with a ceiling of 11.1 mg. It is a licorice-derived compound, and the glycyrrhizin in licorice is the part NCCIH warns about.
NCCIH says glycyrrhizin can cause serious adverse effects, such as irregular heartbeat, and that even small amounts have been linked to severe effects in people who eat a lot of salt, people with high blood pressure, and people with heart or kidney conditions. It also says interactions with corticosteroids have been reported.
The label gives no amount for it and no interaction statement beyond a general caution to consult a physician. If any of those conditions describe you, ask your doctor before you consider this product.
What are the amino acids and the other ingredients?
Eight lines are amino acids or close relatives: L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta-alanine, GABA, L-ornithine, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine. Our notes say amino acids are usually dosed in grams. The highest ceiling here is 14.3 mg, so each one is at least 70 times smaller than a gram-level dose.
The other ingredients are the carrier and the sweeteners: glycerin, water, organic lemon extract, stevia extract 97% (Reb A), xylitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid and natural flavors. Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are preservatives.
This page is general information from a retailer, not medical advice. Glyco Harmony is a dietary supplement. It is not FDA approved, and it is not meant to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The ingredient list includes a licorice-derived compound, a ginseng extract and two caffeine sources. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, a heart or kidney condition, or you take medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist first. Pregnant or nursing mothers and anyone under 18 should also ask.
Frequently asked questions
What are the ingredients in Glyco Harmony?
Chromium (as chromium picolinate) at 0.7 mcg, and a 200 mg proprietary blend of 22 ingredients: maca, grape seed, guarana, African mango, eleutherococcus, astragalus, green tea, gymnema, coleus forskohlii, capsicum, grapefruit, panax ginseng, raspberry ketones, eight amino acid lines and monoammonium glycyrrhizinate.
How much of each ingredient is in Glyco Harmony?
Only chromium has a printed amount, 0.7 mcg per 1 ml. The 22 blend ingredients share 200 mg and none has its own amount, so no per-ingredient dose can be stated.
Does Glyco Harmony contain caffeine?
It contains two caffeine sources, guarana and green tea extract. The label gives no caffeine amount, so the caffeine per serving is not published.
Does Glyco Harmony contain licorice?
It contains monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, a licorice-derived compound, with a ceiling of 11.1 mg per serving. NCCIH warns about glycyrrhizin for people with high blood pressure, heart or kidney conditions.
Are the ingredients standardised?
No standardisation appears on the panel. There is no percentage of gymnemic acids, catechins, caffeine or any other marker compound for any extract.
Why does the marketing name only six ingredients?
The brand's artwork names chromium, gymnema, African mango, green tea, maca and panax ginseng. The panel declares twenty-three. We cannot say why six were chosen, only that seventeen were left out.
Our view
A long ingredient list can look impressive. Read it again with the numbers in mind. Twenty-two ingredients share 200 mg, which is about nine milligrams per ingredient if they were equal, and they are not equal.
None of the named plants is bad in itself. The problem is that you cannot see how much of each is there, so you cannot compare it with a study, count your caffeine or warn your pharmacist with a number.
Our advice is simple. Photograph the panel and show it to your doctor or pharmacist. If you take medicine for blood sugar or blood pressure, do that before you buy, not after.
