Glyco Defender Proprietary Blend: 15.47 mg Weighed Line by Line
The Glyco Defender proprietary blend is a single 15.47 mg total shared by 21 ingredients in one 1 mL serving. The label hides single amounts but lists them from most to least by weight. That order sets a ceiling for each line: the item in place k holds at most 15.47 divided by k milligrams.

The basics01
What is the Glyco Defender proprietary blend?
The Glyco Defender proprietary blend is the 15.47 mg group of 21 ingredients that sits under chromium on the Supplement Facts panel.
Federal rules let a maker print one total for a blend and list its parts in descending order of weight, without single amounts (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)).
So the label is legal and also vague. You can see what is inside, and not how much.
The blend is not the whole serving. Chromium sits outside it at 7 mcg, and the serving is 1 mL. A bottle holds 30 servings, so a bottle holds roughly 464 mg of blend in total.
The ceilings02
How much of each ingredient can one dropper hold?
Each line can hold at most 15.47 divided by its place number, and the even split is about 0.74 mg.
Only the first lines can reach large amounts, and only if the lines after them are tiny. Both cannot be true at once.
| Place | Ingredient | At most (mg) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maca root | 15.47 |
| 2 | African mango seed | 7.7 |
| 3 | Grape seed | 5.2 |
| 4 | Guarana seed | 3.9 |
| 5 | Eleuthero root | 3.1 |
| 6 | Astragalus root | 2.6 |
| 7 | Green tea leaf | 2.2 |
| 8 | Gymnema leaf | 1.9 |
| 9 | Forskohlii root | 1.7 |
| 10 | Cayenne fruit | 1.5 |
| 11 | Grapefruit seed | 1.4 |
| 12 | Panax ginseng root | 1.3 |
| 13-15 | Raspberry ketones, L-glutamine, L-tyrosine | 1.2, 1.1, 1.0 |
| 16-18 | L-arginine, beta alanine, glycyrrhizinate | 0.97, 0.91, 0.86 |
| 19-21 | GABA, L-tryptophan, L-carnitine HCl | 0.81, 0.77, 0.74 |
Against research03
Do these ceilings match studied doses?
No. Every ceiling sits far below the doses that the studies tested.
Gymnema trials used 200-400 mg of extract, against a ceiling of about 1.9 mg here (Drugs.com, Gymnema monograph). African mango was tested at 150 mg twice a day (NIH ODS, Dietary Supplements for Weight Loss), against at most 7.7 mg. Ginseng trials began near 100 mg a day (Shishtar et al., PLoS One 2014), against at most 1.3 mg.
Those studies tested single ingredients, not this product. We use them only to show scale, and we do not claim the drops match any result.
The research used far larger amounts. A hidden blend gives no way to say these drops would act the same way.

How can you judge a proprietary blend before buying?
Judge a blend by its total weight, its length and whether the maker will share a lab report.
- Divide the total by the number of items. Here it is about 0.74 mg each.
- Check the studied dose of any ingredient you care about.
- Ask the seller for single amounts and a lab report. No lab report is published for this product, and the lot codes are seller references, not lab proof.
- Look at the guarantee, because it limits your risk.
If you take medicine, show the full label to a pharmacist and keep taking what your doctor prescribed.
If you order05
Is a 15.47 mg blend worth a trial?
That is your call. The blend is small and the evidence is thin, but the 60-day money-back guarantee lowers the cost of finding out.
Compare the cost per day on our pricing page and read the Supplement Facts breakdown first.

Glyco Defender is a dietary supplement, not a treatment. Ask your doctor or pharmacist first if you use insulin, a sulfonylurea or another glucose-lowering drug, a blood thinner, blood pressure or heart-rhythm medicine, an antidepressant or thyroid medicine. Chromium, gymnema and ginseng may add to diabetes medicines and cause lows; guarana and green tea add caffeine. Keep taking prescribed medicine. See side effects and interactions.
FAQ06
Glyco Defender questions people ask
Why do supplement makers use proprietary blends?
A blend lets a maker list ingredients without single amounts, which protects a formula and shortens the label. The rule allows it if the total weight is shown and items are listed from most to least. Buyers lose the ability to compare doses.
Is the first ingredient in a blend always the largest?
Yes, by the label rule, the first item weighs the most and each next item weighs the same or less. Maca is first here, but that does not say it is most of the blend, only that it is the heaviest.
Can I find the exact amounts in the Glyco Defender blend?
Not on the label or sales page. The only figures are the 15.47 mg total and chromium at 7 mcg. You can ask the order desk, but we have no published answer and show ceilings instead.
Does a proprietary blend mean the ingredients are underdosed?
Not by itself, but here the math points that way. Twenty-one items share 15.47 mg, so the even split is about 0.74 mg, far below study doses. Underdosed compared with research is a fair description.
