GlucoseMD
1MD
Overview
GlucoseMD contains several ingredients with strong scientific backing for blood sugar and metabolic support, such as Berberine, Cinnamon (Cinsulin), Chromium, and Gymnema. These ingredients are generally provided at doses that align with research for their primary benefits. However, other ingredients like Lion's Mane, Neem Leaf Extract, and Capsicum Extract appear to be present in amounts that are likely too low to elicit significant effects, thereby diluting the overall efficacy for broader claims beyond blood sugar regulation.
The Good
Features clinical-grade Berberine at a well-researched dose (500mg per capsule, 1000mg total daily dose aligns with studies) for potent glucose and lipid support.
Includes a high dose of Chromium (600mcg), an essential trace mineral recognized for its role in enhancing insulin action.
Contains Gymnema (100mg) and Cinsulin (500mg), both backed by research for their potential to support healthy blood sugar levels and metabolism.
The Bad
Lion's Mane, Neem Leaf Extract, and Capsicum Extract are likely underdosed for their purported benefits, particularly for cognitive support.
The term "Cinsulin" is a proprietary ingredient, lacking a public wealth of independent research, making its efficacy assessment less transparent than standard cinnamon extracts.
Potential for drug interactions, especially with blood sugar lowering medications, due to the presence of berberine, Cinsulin, chromium, and Gymnema.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking to support healthy blood sugar levels, those concerned with glucose metabolism
