What Is in Sugar Reset? The Ingredients List and Supplement Facts Panel
Each 1 mL serving of Sugar Reset lists 0.7 mcg of chromium and one 200 mg blend of 22 ingredients: plant extracts, a licorice compound and amino acids. The label gives no amount for any single blend ingredient. The liquid base is glycerin, water, lemon, stevia, xylitol, two preservatives, citric acid and natural flavors.
Key facts
- Serving size is 1 mL, with 60 servings in a 2 fl oz / 60 mL bottle.
- Chromium (as chromium picolinate) is 0.7 mcg per serving, which is 2% of the 35 mcg Daily Value.
- One proprietary blend of 200 mg holds 22 named ingredients. The Daily Value for the blend is not established.
- Guarana and green tea in the blend supply caffeine, and the caffeine per serving is not published.
- Other ingredients: glycerin, water, organic lemon extract, stevia extract 97% (Reb A), xylitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid and natural flavors.
- The product is a liquid. Capsules, pills or gummies with a similar name are not this product.
- Not published: the amount of each blend ingredient, any standardization of the extracts and the exact volume of a dropper.
What does the Sugar Reset Supplement Facts panel say?
The panel has only a few printed numbers, which makes it quick to read. The serving size is 1 mL. There are 60 servings in the bottle. Chromium, given as chromium picolinate, is 0.7 mcg, and the panel shows 2% of the Daily Value. Below that sits a line called Proprietary Blend, at 200 mg, with a dagger because the Daily Value is not established.
The panel footnotes say that percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. The dagger footnote says the Daily Value is not established. Beneath the panel, the label prints the other ingredients and the FDA statement.
Which 22 ingredients are in the Sugar Reset blend?
The label prints the blend names in one long line. We list them here in the order printed, with a plain note on each one. The amount of every item is not published, and the only total is 200 mg.
The 22 blend ingredients in label order
| # | Name on the label | Plain note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maca root extract | An Andean root; studied for sexual function, not blood sugar |
| 2 | Grape seed extract | Limited evidence for most uses |
| 3 | Guarana seed extract | A natural caffeine source |
| 4 | African mango seed extract | Small, weak trials at 150 mg twice daily |
| 5 | Eleutherococcus root extract | Also called eleuthero; no good human evidence for claimed uses |
| 6 | Astragalus root extract | Little high-quality research in people |
| 7 | Green tea leaf extract | Catechins plus natural caffeine |
| 8 | Gymnema leaf extract | Studied in type 2 diabetes at far higher doses |
| 9 | Coleus forskohlii root extract | A mint-family root, the source of forskolin |
| 10 | Capsicum fruit extract | Hot pepper; weight effects small or unclear |
| 11 | Grapefruit fruit extract | Grapefruit can change how some drugs work |
| 12 | Panax ginseng aerial extract | The parts above ground, not the usual root |
| 13 | Raspberry ketones | Too little human research to judge |
| 14 | L-Glutamine | An amino acid |
| 15 | L-Tyrosine | An amino acid |
| 16 | L-Arginine base | An amino acid |
| 17 | Beta-Alanine | An amino acid |
| 18 | Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate | A licorice compound |
| 19 | GABA | Gamma amino butyric acid |
| 20 | L-Ornithine HCL | An amino acid |
| 21 | L-Tryptophan | An amino acid |
| 22 | L-Carnitine base | An amino acid |
Count them by type and you get one caffeine seed, a group of herbs and fruit extracts, raspberry ketones, a licorice compound, and amino acids with GABA. The printed order is not stated to be an order of weight, so do not read it as one.
How much of each ingredient can 200 mg hold?
Do the division once. If 200 mg were shared evenly by 22 names, each would get about 9 mg per serving, or about 18 mg on a two-dropper day. It is a rough guide only, because the label does not say how the blend is split.
Compare that with research. Chromium was given at 200 to 1,000 mcg daily in trials (Onakpoya et al., 2013); the panel shows 0.7 mcg. A typical gymnema dose in the LiverTox summary is 400 mg three times a day (LiverTox, Gymnema). African mango was tested at 150 mg twice daily in one trial (Ngondi et al., 2009). Panax ginseng helped fasting glucose in trials at gram doses (Shishtar et al., 2014).
What else is in the liquid besides the blend?
The label’s other ingredients are glycerin, water, organic lemon extract, stevia extract 97% (Reb A), xylitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid and natural flavors. Note that the label prints no comma after organic lemon extract.
- Glycerin and water: the base that carries the extracts.
- Stevia and xylitol: the sweeteners. No sugar is listed.
- Organic lemon extract, citric acid and natural flavors: taste and tartness.
- Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate: preservatives that help stop mold and yeast in a liquid opened every day.
Xylitol is worth a note. It can cause gas or loose stools in some people at high intakes (Lenhart & Chey, 2017), and it is toxic to dogs even in small amounts. The label asks you to keep the bottle out of the reach of children.
What do the label claims mean?
The bottle front reads “Promotes Metabolic Balance*”. The seller’s page gives five support lines. All carry a dagger that points to the FDA note: these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Think of the claims as goals, not results. They are written in soft words such as support, promote, aid and contribute. They do not say the drops lower blood sugar, and we do not say it either.
- Promote Healthy Insulin Function†
- Support Balanced Blood Sugar Levels†
- Aid in Managing Carbohydrate Metabolism†
- Assist in Maintaining a Healthy Weight†
- Contribute to Overall Metabolic Health†
What does the label leave out?
Four things stand out. First, the amount of each blend ingredient. Second, the caffeine per serving, even though two caffeine sources are in the blend. Third, any standardization of the extracts, such as a percentage of an active compound. Fourth, the volume of one dropper full: the label serving is 1 mL, and the directions allow 1 or 2 droppers, and this site counts a dropper as about 1 mL.
The bottle also quotes a few spellings that differ from the standard ones, and our batch check page notes them. Seeing them is consistent with a genuine bottle but does not prove one is real.

Does Sugar Reset come as capsules, pills or gummies?
No. The directions say to place the drops in your mouth and swallow, and the bottle is a dropper bottle. A listing for Sugar Reset capsules, Sugar Reset pills or Sugarreset gummies describes something else. A pill or a gummy would need its own label and its own base, and the numbers in this article would not apply.
If you want to weigh liquid against capsules in general, our article on liquid drops vs. capsules covers dropper accuracy, taste and storage.
Frequently asked questions
What are the ingredients in Sugar Reset?
Chromium (as chromium picolinate) plus a 200 mg blend of 22 ingredients: maca, grape seed, guarana, African mango, eleuthero, astragalus, green tea, gymnema, coleus forskohlii, capsicum, grapefruit, Panax ginseng, raspberry ketones, a licorice compound and eight amino acids including GABA.
How much of each ingredient is in a dropper?
Not published. Only chromium at 0.7 mcg and the 200 mg blend total are printed. Sharing 200 mg evenly gives about 9 mg per name, though the true split is unknown.
Does Sugar Reset contain caffeine?
Both guarana seed and green tea leaf in the blend naturally contain caffeine. It has no line of its own, and the amount per serving is not published.
Is there sugar in the drops?
No sugar is listed. The drops are sweetened with stevia extract and xylitol, and glycerin forms the base.
Why are there preservatives in the drops?
Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate help stop mold and yeast in a water-based liquid that is opened every day.
Is Sugar Reset sold as pills?
No. It is liquid drops in a 60 mL amber glass dropper bottle. A pill, capsule or gummy with a similar name is a different product.
Our view
The label is clear about what is inside and quiet about how much. Naming all 22 blend ingredients is a plus. Giving one shared amount for them is a limit, and so is leaving out the caffeine figure.
Read the panel the way you would read any dense label: note the published numbers, list the open questions and take both to your doctor or pharmacist if you use medicine. The drops are a dietary supplement. They are not a diabetes treatment and not FDA approved.
