Ingredient profile
Glyco Harmony Maca: What the First Name in the Blend Means
Glyco Harmony maca is Maca (Lepidium mevenii) Root Extract, the first of 22 names in a 200 mg proprietary blend. Because names are listed by weight, maca is at least 9.09 mg per 1 mL serving. The label prints no exact amount. Research on maca covers fertility, sexual function and menopause, not blood sugar.
Written by the Glyco Harmony label deskUpdated
On the label01
What is maca in Glyco Harmony drops?
Maca in Glyco Harmony is "Maca (Lepidium mevenii) Root Extract", printed first inside the Proprietary Blend on the Supplement Facts panel.
The plant is the Peruvian root Lepidium meyenii. The label spells it "mevenii", and this site keeps the printed spelling. Maca is a traditional root food from the Andes, and the label lists an extract of that root.
The marked crop below highlights the maca line. Neighbouring names sit on the same lines, so the highlight touches more than maca.
The arithmetic02
How much maca is in each serving of Glyco Harmony?
The label does not say. It gives only the blend total, 200 mg per 1 mL, and the rule for blends sets a floor for the first name.
Names in a blend are listed in descending order by weight (eCFR, 21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). Maca is first, so it weighs at least as much as each of the other 21 names. Split 200 mg by 22 and the smallest possible share is 9.09 mg.
There is no upper bound worth quoting. In theory maca could be most of the blend, and in practice it is far less, but the label cannot tell you which. Treat 9.09 mg as a floor, never as the amount.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Position in the blend | 1 of 22 |
| Least it can weigh per 1 mL | 9.09 mg (200 ÷ 22), about 4.5% of the blend |
| Least at 2 droppers, if one dropper is 1 mL | 18.18 mg |
| Exact amount | Not printed |
| Extract ratio or strength | Not printed |
The dropper size is an assumption. The label does not say how much one dropper full holds.
The research03
What does research say about maca?
Research on maca is limited, and it covers fertility, sexual function and menopause. Memorial Sloan Kettering rates the clinical evidence as thin: mostly lab and animal work, with a few small human trials (MSK, Maca).
We found no human trial of maca on blood sugar. The sales page names maca among its featured nutrients (Glyco Harmony sales page), but it is marketing, not evidence. No source we cite ties maca to glucose.
The profile below sets the label next to the research.
| Name on the label | Maca (Lepidium mevenii) Root Extract |
|---|---|
| What it is | Extract of the root of the Peruvian plant Lepidium meyenii (printed 'mevenii') |
| Per 1 mL serving | not printed; at least 9.09 mg (and at most 200 mg) |
| % Daily Value | Not established |
| Amount used in research | No blood-sugar studies found; the roughly 200 mg ceiling is for the whole blend, and maca must be at least 9.09 mg |
| Strength of evidence | Limited: mostly lab and animal work with a few small human trials, on fertility, sexual function and menopause |
| Marketed or traditional use | Traditional root food from Peru |
| Main caution | Reported effects include altered menstrual cycles, mood changes, stomach upset and insomnia. It may interfere with testosterone blood tests. |
Claims04
Does maca help with blood sugar?
No cited source shows that maca helps with blood sugar. Maca has been studied for other things, and the amount in these drops is unknown.
That matters because a name on a label can sound like a promise. The label front says "Blood Sugar Support*", and the star leads to the FDA statement: not evaluated by the FDA, not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease (FDA, Questions and Answers on Dietary Supplements).
Research on a single ingredient does not automatically carry over to a finished product. Dose, form and the mix all have to match (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance). No study tested Glyco Harmony.
First position tells you maca is heavy for this blend. It does not tell you maca is heavy in absolute terms. At 200 mg for 22 names, even the largest share is small.

Where does maca sit among the Glyco Harmony ingredients?
Maca is the first plant extract in a label of 23 lines: chromium on its own, then a blend of 22 names. Use the filter to see maca beside the others.
Each line shows the printed name, what can be worked out about its weight, and the strength of the research we found. Chromium is the only line with its own amount.

Safety06
Who should be careful with maca in Glyco Harmony?
Anyone with a hormone-related condition, anyone who will have a testosterone blood test, and anyone on diabetes medicine should ask a doctor or pharmacist first.
Memorial Sloan Kettering lists altered menstrual cycles, mood changes, stomach upset and insomnia as reported effects, and notes that maca may interfere with testosterone tests (MSK, Maca). The label also tells pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition to consult a physician.
- Keep taking prescribed medicine. Never change insulin or diabetes medicine because of a supplement.
- Tell your prescriber and pharmacist about every supplement, including drops.
- Low blood sugar can come from diabetes medicine. Confusion, fainting or a seizure need emergency care: call 911 (CDC, Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)).

Before you order07
What should you check before buying Glyco Harmony for maca?
Check what you are really buying: a 200 mg blend of 22 names with maca inside, not a maca product. If maca is the reason, the label cannot confirm an amount.
A bottle holds 60 mL. If one dropper is 1 mL, that is 60 days at 1 dropper a day and 30 days at 2. The pricing page shows the offers, and the checkout shows the live price and guarantee terms.

FAQ08
Glyco Harmony maca questions
Is there maca in Glyco Harmony?
Yes. The label lists Maca (Lepidium mevenii) Root Extract as the first of 22 names in its 200 mg proprietary blend. The label prints no exact amount for maca, so how much each serving holds is not known.
How much maca is in Glyco Harmony?
The label does not say. Maca is listed first, so it weighs at least 200 ÷ 22 = 9.09 mg per 1 mL serving. That is a floor, not the amount, and no ceiling below the 200 mg total can be proven.
Why is maca listed first in Glyco Harmony?
Blend names must be listed in descending order by weight, so maca is the heaviest name in the blend. That says nothing about how heavy it is in absolute terms, because the whole blend is 200 mg across 22 names.
Is the maca in Glyco Harmony the same as maca powder?
Not necessarily. The label says root extract, not whole root powder, and prints no extract ratio. Powder and extract differ in strength, so an amount of one cannot be swapped for the other.
Is maca studied for blood sugar?
We found no human trial of maca on blood sugar. The research we cite covers fertility, sexual function and menopause, and rates the evidence as limited. Maca is not a diabetes medicine.
Can maca affect lab tests?
Possibly. Memorial Sloan Kettering notes that maca may interfere with testosterone blood tests. If you have lab work coming, tell the clinician about every supplement you take, including Glyco Harmony drops.
Who should avoid maca in Glyco Harmony?
Ask a physician first if you are pregnant, nursing, under 18, on medicine or have any known condition, as the label advises. Reported effects of maca include cycle changes, mood changes, stomach upset and insomnia.
