What Are the Glucotide Ingredients? The Full List, Line by Line
Quick answer
Glucotide names 19 ingredients. Seven vitamins and minerals have a printed amount: vitamin C, vitamin E, biotin, magnesium, zinc, manganese and chromium. Twelve more share one 82 mg proprietary blend, with no amount for each. The shell is gelatin, and three other ingredients help form the capsule.
Key facts
- Named ingredients: 19, which is seven with printed amounts plus 12 inside one blend.
- The blend weighs 82 mg in total. The amount of each of its 12 names is not published.
- Licorice root extract is first in the blend, and the label prints a warning about licorice.
- Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin (capsule), magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.
- The capsule is gelatin, so Glucotide is not vegetarian or vegan.
- Every amount on the panel is for a serving of 2 capsules.
- No published trial on the finished formula was supplied, and none is cited here.
What does the Glucotide supplement facts panel print for each nutrient?
Start with the part of the label that is easy to read. Seven nutrients each get a weight and a percent of the Daily Value. That is more than many supplement labels give, and it is fair to say so.
The table below copies the panel. Each line is for a serving of two capsules. The words in brackets name the compound used, such as magnesium oxide or ascorbic acid.
| Nutrient (form) | Amount | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) | 53 mg | 59% |
| Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl acetate) | 16 mg | 107% |
| Biotin | 315 mcg | 1050% |
| Magnesium (magnesium oxide) | 125 mg | 30% |
| Zinc (zinc oxide) | 8 mg | 73% |
| Manganese (manganese sulfate) | 1 mg | 43% |
| Chromium (chromium amino acid chelate) | 76 mcg | 217% |
This site divided each printed amount by the Daily Value that NIH publishes. Six of the seven percentages check out. Manganese is the one we could not check, because no Daily Value for it appeared in the sources we opened.
What is inside the 82 mg proprietary blend of Glucotide?
Under the seven nutrients sits a block called Proprietary Blend, with one weight for the whole block: 82 mg. Twelve names are listed beneath it. Here they are in the printed order:
- Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root extract 4:1
- Juniper (Juniperus communis) berry powder
- Guggul (Commiphora wightii) gum resin extract, with 10% guggulsterones
- Alpha lipoic acid
- Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) fruit extract 4:1
- Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruit powder
- Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) bark powder
- Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) leaf extract, with 1% corosolic acid
- White mulberry (Morus alba) leaf powder
- Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) flower powder
- Taurine
- Gymnema sylvestre leaf powder
The order is not random. A federal labeling rule, 21 CFR 101.36, lets a maker print a blend total without single weights, but it asks for the names to run from the heaviest to the lightest. That is the only clue the label gives about amounts.
How much of each blend ingredient is in a Glucotide capsule?
Not published. The one weight printed is the 82 mg total. This site works out one thing from the printed order. Because licorice is first, it can weigh at most 82 mg, which is the whole blend. The last name, gymnema, can weigh at most 6.9 mg. Those are ceilings, never amounts. The real weights could be far smaller.
Two blend members carry a marker percentage: guggul at 10% guggulsterones and banaba at 1% corosolic acid. The other ten carry none. That means ten of the twelve cannot be turned into an amount of any named compound.
Why this matters for licorice
The bottle prints a warning: "Licorice root may elevate blood pressure at high doses. Not for use by persons with hypertension, heart disease, liver or kidney disorders, or for prolonged periods without medical supervision." The label does not say how much licorice a serving holds, so a reader cannot size the concern from the bottle.
Are the magnesium and zinc in Glucotide the well-absorbed kinds?
The label prints magnesium as magnesium oxide and zinc as zinc oxide. NIH says magnesium in the citrate, lactate, aspartate and chloride forms is absorbed more completely than magnesium oxide. For zinc, NIH gives about 61% absorption from citrate or gluconate and 50% from zinc oxide.
That is a cost-and-absorption point, not a safety point. Neither source calls these forms unsafe. The amounts are also well under the upper limits NIH gives, which are 350 mg a day for supplemental magnesium and 40 mg a day for zinc. Our post on forms goes further.
Is a high percent of the Daily Value on this label a problem?
Three lines pass 100%: vitamin E at 107%, chromium at 217% and biotin at 1050%. A big percent is not a verdict by itself. NIH gives the biotin Daily Value as 30 mcg, so 315 mcg is 1050% of it, and the arithmetic is right. NIH also says no upper limit was set for biotin, because there is no evidence in humans that it is toxic at high intakes.
Biotin does have one practical wrinkle. It can disturb some lab tests, but the case reports NIH cites involve 10 to 300 mg a day. A serving here holds 315 mcg. Tell whoever draws your blood anyway. Our biotin post has the full picture.
Vitamin E is the other line to mention. NIH says large doses with blood thinners such as warfarin can raise bleeding risk. The 16 mg here is not a large dose, and NIH's upper limit is 1,000 mg, but a person on a blood thinner should raise it with a prescriber.
What are the other ingredients, and is the capsule vegetarian?
The label ends with this line: microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin (capsule), magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. These parts help the capsule fill and flow. They are not active ingredients.
Gelatin comes from animals. So Glucotide is not vegetarian or vegan. A vegetarian seal was supplied with the stock, and this site does not show it, because the seal and the label cannot both be right. The label wins.
Does the seller's ingredient graphic match the Glucotide ingredients list?
Not quite. The seller's panel is titled for six vital nutrients and shows six cards. The label prints seven nutrients, and manganese is the one the graphic leaves out. The blend of 12 does not appear on the graphic at all.
Other websites describe this formula in their own ways. The supplier pack notes pages that list turmeric, which the printed label does not, and pages that give a different count for the blend. When a page and the printed label disagree, go with the label. It is the document that sits on the bottle.

Frequently asked questions
How many ingredients are in Glucotide?
The label names 19. Seven are vitamins and minerals with printed amounts. Twelve are inside one 82 mg proprietary blend. Four more ingredients help form the capsule.
How much licorice is in Glucotide?
Not published. Licorice is first in the blend, so a serving can hold at most 82 mg of it, but that is a ceiling and not an amount. The label prints a warning about licorice and blood pressure.
Does Glucotide contain turmeric?
Not on the printed label. Some web pages list turmeric for this product, but the label names 12 blend ingredients and turmeric is not one of them.
Is Glucotide vegetarian?
No. The Other Ingredients line names gelatin as the capsule, and gelatin is an animal product.
Why does Glucotide not print the amount of each blend ingredient?
The rule in 21 CFR 101.36 lets a maker print one total for a blend, here 82 mg, and list the names from heaviest to lightest. The label does not print a weight for any single blend name.
Is there a gluten or allergen statement on the Glucotide label?
The label does not print an allergen statement. The seller's artwork shows seal marks, but no certifying body, certificate number or audit date came with them.
Our view
Our view is that the panel is more open than it first looks and less open than a buyer might want. Seven lines are fully printed. Twelve are named but not weighed. That split is the whole story of this label.
If your concern is a particular herb, the blend gives you no number to judge it by. If your concern is a vitamin or mineral, the panel gives you one. Take the printed warning seriously, and use your doctor as the judge of fit.
We list what is printed and mark the rest as not published. That is the most we can honestly offer.
