The Glyco Defender label calls the drops a dietary supplement in a 1oz / 30ml bottle, taken as 1 dropperful a day, with chromium and a 21-part blend.

The facts box02
How do you read the Glyco Defender supplement facts panel?
Read the Glyco Defender supplement facts panel top down: serving size, then chromium, then the blend total.
One serving is 1 mL, a full dropper. Thirty fit in a bottle, so it lasts a month. Only the chromium line carries its own amount. The blend line gives one weight for 21 ingredients, and "Daily Value not established" means no DV exists for them.

Blend math04
What does a 15.47 mg proprietary blend mean?
It means 21 ingredients weigh 15.47 mg together in each mL, and the label does not say how much of each.
Federal rules allow this, as long as the parts run from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)). Split evenly, each gets about 0.74 mg. The item in place k can weigh at most 15.47 divided by k, so gymnema, 8th, holds at most 1.9 mg.
The caret (^) marks 20:1 extracts and a quote mark flags African mango at 10:1. Those ratios describe the concentrate, not the dose.
You still swallow 15.47 mg of blend per dropper, not 309 mg. Each line is weighed on the Glyco Defender ingredients page.

What are the other ingredients in Glyco Defender drops?
Besides the blend, the bottle holds water, natural flavors, potassium sorbate, stevia, xylitol and citrus extract.
Water is the base and potassium sorbate keeps it fresh. Stevia and xylitol sweeten it without sugar. FDA accepts high-purity stevia extracts as food sweeteners (FDA, Aspartame and Other Sweeteners).
Xylitol can crash a dog's blood sugar within 10 to 60 minutes (FDA, Paws Off Xylitol). Store the bottle out of reach.
Cautions06
What warnings are printed on the Glyco Defender label?
The label says not to exceed the dose, bars anyone under 18 and pregnant or nursing women, and sends anyone with a medical condition to a physician first.
It also says to keep the bottle from children and skip it if the safety seal is broken.
- Chromium may add to diabetes drugs and cut levothyroxine absorption (NIH ODS, Chromium).
- Keep taking prescribed medicine as directed.
More on side effects and interactions.
What is missing07
What does the Glyco Defender label leave out?
The label leaves out single blend amounts, a caffeine figure, the factory name and any lab result.
Guarana and green tea bring caffeine with no milligram count (MSKCC, Guarana). A distributor in Ogden, Utah is named, not the maker. "FDA registered facility" is not approval; FDA does not approve supplements (FDA, Using Dietary Supplements).
- No trial of the finished drops
- No published lab report; lot GD-26/GO-5715 is a seller reference
Daily use is covered on how to use Glyco Defender.
FAQ08
Glyco Defender label questions
Where are the Glyco Defender supplement facts on the bottle?
They sit on the right side of the wrap-around label, beside the logo. Turn the bottle until you see the boxed panel. It lists the 1 mL serving, 30 servings, 7 mcg of chromium and the 15.47 mg blend of 21.
Does the Glyco Defender label list caffeine?
No caffeine amount is printed. Guarana and green tea both contain caffeine and sit 4th and 7th in a 15.47 mg blend, so the amount is likely small. It is not zero, so count it if you limit caffeine.
Why does the Glyco Defender label hide single amounts?
Federal rules let a proprietary blend show only its total weight and its order by weight. Glyco Defender uses that rule for its 21 blend ingredients. Only chromium, listed outside the blend, has its own amount.
Is there sugar in Glyco Defender drops?
The label lists 0 calories and says the drops are not a significant source of total or added sugars. Stevia and xylitol give the sweet taste. One dropper adds close to nothing for carb counters.
Who makes Glyco Defender according to the label?
The label names no manufacturer. It names a distributor, GlycoDefender, PO Box 12730, Ogden, UT 84404, and says the drops were made in the USA in an FDA registered facility.
Is Glyco Defender gluten free or vegan?
The label does not say. No allergen, gluten or vegan statement is printed, so we cannot confirm either. Ask the order desk at +1 (302) 200-3480 before buying if it matters to you.
