What is in Gymnema?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biotin | 2,150 mcg | 716% | Higher than 89% of 9,447 products listing biotin (median 200 mcg). Per day at the most servings: 4,300 mcg. |
| Betaine-HCl | 200 mg | Higher than 76% of 914 products listing betaine hydrochloride (median 50 mg). Per day at the most servings: 400 mg. | |
| Chromium Nicotinate | 105 mcg | 300%* | The label names the compound (Chromium Nicotinate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the chromium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- 85% of the 82 products that print an amount of neem list more than its 50 mg of neem (median 400 mg).
The NIH database records 2 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
