7 mcg · 20% DVChromium Picolinate
the one named amountThe only ingredient on this label with its own line and its own number. Chromium is an essential trace mineral, and the picolinate form is the one used in most research because it absorbs more readily than chromium chloride.
in the blendGymnema Sylvestre
Gymnema sylvestre leafA climbing shrub from India whose Hindi name, gurmar, translates as sugar destroyer, after the way chewing the leaf blunts the taste of sweetness for a while. It has the longest traditional record of anything in this bottle.
in the blendAfrican Mango Seed
Irvingia gabonensis seedThe seed kernel of a West African forest tree, known locally as dika nut. It is the one extract on the panel sourced from a concentrate at a 10:1 equivalent rather than 20:1.
in the blendGreen Tea Leaf
Camellia sinensis leafThe most studied plant extract in the whole formula. Green tea leaf carries catechins, chiefly EGCG, which is why it turns up in metabolic formulas far more often than any other botanical.
first in the blendMaca Root
Lepidium meyenii rootA Peruvian root vegetable grown high in the Andes and eaten as food there long before it was sold as an extract. It is listed first in the blend, which by labelling convention means it is present in the largest amount.
in the blendPanax Ginseng Root
Panax ginseng rootTrue ginseng, not the Siberian kind — although eleuthero, which is sometimes sold under that name, is separately listed in this same blend. Panax root is one of the most widely used botanicals on earth.
