What is in Sugar Blocker?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 caplet. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chromiumas Chromium Nicotinate, Chromium PolynicotinateChromium (Form: as Chromium Polynicotinate, Chromium Nicotinate) | 67 mcg | 56% | 59% of 7,825 products listing chromium give more (median 100 mcg). Per day at the most servings: 201 mcg. |
| Gymnema sylvestre extractas Gymnemic AcidsGymnema sylvestre extract (Form: standardized to 25% Gymnemic Acids) PlantPart: leaf Genus: Gymnema Species: sylvestre | 83 mg | 72% of 444 products listing gymnema give more (median 200 mg). Per day at the most servings: 249 mg. | |
| Vanadyl Sulfate | 5 mg | The label names the compound (Vanadyl Sulfate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the vanadium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
