In one line
Gymnema leaf extract is the first name on the Glycotide list, and it is the one most tied to everyday sweet cravings.*
Meet the ingredient
Gymnema sylvestre is a climbing plant of the forests of India. Healers in the Ayurvedic tradition have used its leaves for a very long time, and its Hindi nickname, gurmar, is often explained as sugar destroyer. That is a traditional name, not a result you should count on.
Why it is on the label
The brand describes gymnema as a traditional botanical that can temporarily bind sweet taste receptors on the tongue.* That is why it sits at the front of a formula built around steadier blood sugar habits and fewer sugar cravings.*
Good company on the label
Gymnema leads, with chromium picolinate as the mineral partner and green tea leaf extract on the antioxidant side.
An everyday pairing
Take your drops with the same breakfast each day, as the brand suggests. A steady anchor makes a plant-based formula easy to remember.
