leaderboard Score 65.0
A supplement focused on reducing sugar cravings and supporting glucose metabolism, with low chromium content.
This 'Sugar Ban' product is centered around Gymnema Sylvestre, traditionally used to reduce sugar cravings and support healthy glucose metabolism, making it relevant for 'Metabolism Boost' and indirectly for 'Weight Loss.' Grapefruit Pectin adds dietary fiber which can aid digestion and contribute to satiety. The chromium content (90mcg) is on the lower side and its form is unspecified, diminishing its impact compared to products with higher doses of bioavailable chromium. While supporting blood sugar can indirectly benefit 'Heart Health' and 'Energy,' the product offers minimal direct 'Anti-Inflammatory Support.'
- Primary ingredient, Gymnema Sylvestre, specifically targets sugar cravings and glucose support.
- Contains fiber (Grapefruit Pectin) for digestive health and satiety.
- Reasonable price per serving.
- Low dose of chromium (90mcg) and unspecified form, reducing its efficacy as a primary chromium supplement.
- Limited direct benefits for energy, heart health beyond glucose, or anti-inflammatory support.
- Less comprehensive for overall weight loss compared to thermogenics or fat blockers.
- Individuals with diabetes or taking blood sugar-lowering medications should consult a healthcare professional, as Gymnema can significantly affect blood glucose levels.

Categories
Chromium 50.0
The chromium content is too low and in an unspecified form to be a significant contributor to the specific chromium-related goals of metabolism and weight loss compared to higher-dose, more bioavailable options.
