GlycoAid declares 500 mg covering all fourteen ingredients together. That is one number for fourteen things, and it means no individual amount is published. The ordering is the only quantitative information you get: heaviest first, so berberine is the largest share and licorice root the smallest.
Take the arithmetic seriously for a moment. Split evenly, every ingredient would be about 36 mg. It is not split evenly — the ordering proves that — but it gives you the scale. Research on berberine works in the 900 to 1,500 mg range daily. Cinnamon trials use grams. Alpha-lipoic acid studies begin near 300 mg, which on its own exceeds half the total blend weight.
None of that is unusual or improper. It is simply how blended supplements are put together. It does mean that reading a study about one ingredient and expecting the same result from this capsule is a mistake.
How the grades work
Every ingredient carries a grade describing the strength of human evidence for a blood sugar outcome, for that substance at doses used in published work. Each grade refers to the substance itself and never to the finished product.
What Each Grade Means
Six labels, applied the same way across all fourteen pages.
| Grade | What it means | Ingredients with it |
|---|---|---|
| Strong | Repeated controlled human trials pointing the same way. | Berberine |
| Moderate | Human trials exist and agree in direction, but are small, short or unevenly run. | Cinnamon Bark, Gymnema Sylvestre, Banaba Leaf, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, White Mulberry Leaf |
| Mixed | Laboratory evidence and human trial evidence disagree. | Bitter Melon, Turmeric Root |
| Established role | A recognised nutrient with a defined intake figure rather than a research file. | Chromium, Biotin |
| Limited | Mechanistically interesting, with little human evidence for this outcome. | Licorice Root |
| Small | Very little human evidence for a blood sugar outcome. | Juniper Berry, Maca Root, Goji Berry |
Three ingredients graded Small
Juniper berry, maca root and goji berry have very little human blood sugar evidence behind them. Each of those pages leads with that fact instead of burying it.
