Glucotide contains 19 ingredients: seven vitamins and minerals with printed amounts, and 12 more inside one 82 mg proprietary blend.
Per 2-capsule serving the label lists vitamin C 53 mg, vitamin E 16 mg, biotin 315 mcg, magnesium 125 mg, zinc 8 mg, manganese 1 mg and chromium 76 mcg, each with its % Daily Value.

Exhibit 01
The seven the panel puts a number against
Seven nutrients, each with a weight and a percentage of the Daily Value against it. We divided every printed amount by the Daily Value NIH publishes for it, and six of the seven percentages come out right. Seven lines, seven weights, seven percentages, and that is the first thing
this page wants to credit.
The seven nutrients as the panel prints them, with the Daily Value each percentage was computed against.

Printed well above the Daily Value
Carries a caution that depends on dose
Six of those Daily Values are quoted from the NIH fact sheets at the foot of this page.
Divide each of those six printed amounts by its Daily Value and the printed percentage comes
back every time.
Three of the seven run past 100%: vitamin E at 107%, chromium at 217% and biotin at
1050%. None of the three is a safety figure on its own.
315 mcg, printed as 1050% of the Daily Value
NIH gives the Daily Value as 30 mcg, so the percentage is right. Biotin interferes with some laboratory tests, but the doses in the reported cases run from 10 to 300 milligrams a day and 315 micrograms is about a thirty-second of the smallest of them. NIH sets no upper limit for biotin. The free step is to tell whoever draws your blood that you take this.
76 mcg, printed as 217% of the Daily Value
NIH gives the Daily Value as 35 mcg, so 217% checks. Of its glucose and weight work NIH records that “doses of chromium picolinate were 200 to 1,000 mcg/day” — a different chromium salt and a larger amount than this. NIH set no upper limit for chromium.
Magnesium at 30%, zinc at 73%, both as the oxide
Both figures are right and both minerals are in the form NIH names as less completely absorbed than the alternatives it lists. NIH: “Absorption of zinc from supplements that contain zinc citrate or zinc gluconate is similar, at approximately 61% in young adults; the absorption from supplements that contain zinc oxide is 50%.” An absorption point, not a safety one; our sources say nothing about what any of these forms costs.
16 mg, printed as 107% of the Daily Value
The mildest figure above 100% on the panel. The line to raise with a prescriber is the interaction rather than the size: NIH records that “Taking large doses with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin), can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in conjunction with low vitamin K intake.”
First in the blend, and the reason the bottle carries a warning
Licorice heads the declared order, so its ceiling is the whole 82 mg. NCCIH records that “Interactions between licorice and corticosteroids have been reported.”
Exhibit 02
The twelve inside the 82 mg blend
Under the seven sits one number, 82 mg, covering 12 ingredients together, with no
individual weight against any of them. That is legal, and it is not the end of what can be
said.
The blend is declared as one number: 82 mg for all 12 ingredients together. 21 CFR 101.36(c)(2) requires those 12 to be listed in descending order of predominance by weight, and that is the only reason any of this can be worked out. If the order is descending and the total is 82 mg, the ingredient in position n cannot weigh more than 82/n mg. These are ceilings. The real amounts are not published and could be far smaller.View as a table
Each blend member, its position in the declared order, and the most it can weigh.
21 CFR 101.36(c)(2) requires the members of a proprietary blend to be declared in descending order of predominance by weight. If the order is descending and the whole blend is 82 mg, the member in position n cannot weigh more than 82/n milligrams. Every figure of that kind on this site is a ceiling. It is the most an ingredient could possibly be, never the amount that is in the bottle, and the real amount could be very much smaller.
Read the top of that profile before the bottom. Licorice is first, so its ceiling is the
whole 82 mg, which rules out nothing. The bound only starts to say something further down: 20.5 mg at
position four, where alpha lipoic acid sits, and 6.9 mg at the last. Two members carry a
standardisation, the guggul at 10% guggulsterones and the banaba at 1% corosolic acid, which
at their ceilings is no more than about 2.7 mg and about 0.1 mg respectively.
Six on the advert, seven on the panel, 19 in the bottle
Six cards, and a panel that prints nineteen names.
The seller’s ingredient graphic is titled INSIDE GLUCOTIDE and subtitled SIX VITAL
NUTRIENTS. It shows vitamin C, vitamin E, biotin, magnesium, zinc and chromium, each with
its form in brackets and no amount against any of them.
The panel prints seven. Manganese is the one the graphic leaves out, at 1 mg and 43%
of the Daily Value, so that subtitle undercounts its own label. The 82 mg blend does not appear at
all, which means the 13 ingredients missing from it include the licorice the bottle prints a
warning about. The panel is a selection of the label rather than a summary of it, and the label page is
where the rest is.
One more thing about the pictures. The hero photograph shows ginger and basil beside the
bottle, and neither is on the label; bitter melon and cinnamon are, at positions five and seven
of the blend.
Exhibit 04
The blend members, and what the sources say
Two of the twelve are below, with the label’s description on the front of
each card and what our sources say on the back.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Fourth in the blend
Inside the blend, only a maximum
Fourth in the blend, so at most 20.5 mg. Alpha lipoic acid is the blend member most often associated with this product category, and our sources give no dose for it, so this entry is a ceiling with nothing to compare it to. We would rather write that than borrow a figure from a study we did not open.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) Bark Powder
Seventh in the blend
Inside the blend, only a maximum
Seventh in the blend, so at most 11.8 mg. Worth noting that the species printed is Cinnamomum verum, true cinnamon, rather than the cassia usually sold as cinnamon - the label is being specific where it did not have to be. Our sources give no dose.
The remaining ten, with the most each could weigh:
Licorice, position 1, at most 82 mg
Juniper, position 2, at most 41 mg
Guggul, position 3, at most 27.4 mg
Bitter Melon, position 5, at most 16.4 mg
Cayenne Pepper, position 6, at most 13.7 mg
Banaba, position 8, at most 10.3 mg
White Mulberry, position 9, at most 9.2 mg
Yarrow, position 10, at most 8.2 mg
Taurine, position 11, at most 7.5 mg
Gymnema sylvestre Leaf Powder, position 12, at most 6.9 mg
Licorice is the only one of those ten our sources speak to, and it has the cautions page to itself. The
guggul and the banaba are the only others the label itself adds anything to, at 10%
guggulsterones and 1% corosolic acid. For the remaining seven there is a position, a maximum
and nothing else.
Questions
Glucotide: common questions
How many ingredients are in Glucotide?
Nineteen are named on the label. Seven nutrients are printed with an amount and a percentage of the Daily Value, and twelve more sit inside a single 82 mg proprietary blend with no individual weights. The seller’s own ingredient graphic shows six.
How much of each blend ingredient is in a serving?
Not published for any of the twelve. 21 CFR 101.36(c)(2) requires the members of a proprietary blend to be declared in descending order of predominance by weight. If the order is descending and the whole blend is 82 mg, the member in position n cannot weigh more than 82/n milligrams. Every figure of that kind on this site is a ceiling. It is the most an ingredient could possibly be, never the amount that is in the bottle, and the real amount could be very much smaller.
Are the printed percentages correct?
Six of the seven. We divided each printed amount by the Daily Value NIH publishes and all six came back arithmetically right. The seventh, manganese, has no Daily Value in the sources we opened.
Is it vegetarian?
No. The Other Ingredients line reads: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Gelatin (Capsule), Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide. Gelatin is an animal product, so a vegetarian seal and this label cannot both be right.
Every source above was opened and read on September 24, 2026. None of them tested Glucotide itself. They describe single nutrients, one herb and one labelling regulation, which is a different thing from testing this finished formula.
