Glucaffect Cinnamon Cream Flavor
Reliv
Overview
Reliv GlucAffect contains several ingredients with research-backed potential for blood sugar management (e.g., Pycnogenol, Banaba Leaf Extract, Cinnamon, Salacia Reticulata, Alpha Lipoic Acid). However, the specific doses of most key ingredients are not fully disclosed due to a proprietary blend, making it difficult to ascertain if clinically effective amounts are consistently provided. While a clinical study cited by the brand suggests significant blood glucose reduction and weight loss with four daily servings, independent verification of these comprehensive claims and the exact contribution of each ingredient at the given serving size is challenging without full transparency.
The Good
Contains multiple ingredients known for glucose metabolism support.
Includes a branded ingredient (Pycnogenol) with research backing, though likely underdosed.
Provides basic essential minerals like Calcium, Phosphorus, and Potassium.
The Bad
Extensive use of a proprietary blend obscures dosages of most active ingredients, making efficacy assessment difficult.
Maritime Pine Extract (Pycnogenol) is significantly underdosed (15mg vs. clinically effective 50-200mg).
Lack of transparency on the specific form of Cinnamon (Ceylon vs. Cassia) and its quantity, which is relevant for safety (coumarin content).
