Gymnema in Sugar Reset: At Most 25 mg, Next to the Research
Gymnema leaf extract is really in Sugar Reset, as the sales page says. Its amount is not printed. It is 8th of 22 in a 200 mg blend, so each 1 mL holds at most 25 mg. At 1 or 2 droppers a day, assuming about 1 mL each, that is at most 25 to 50 mg, against a typical dose of 400 mg three times a day.

On the label
What is gymnema, and is it in Sugar Reset?
Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) is an Ayurvedic herb. Sugar Reset's label lists "Gymnema Leaf Extract" inside its 200 mg proprietary blend.
The sales page names gymnema leaf as one of its six key ingredients (Sugar Reset sales page, October 2026). That part checks out. Gymnema is on the label, eighth of 22 blend ingredients.
What the label does not show is how much. Like every herb in the blend, gymnema has no single amount. The order of the list is the only clue. The label versus sales page breakdown shows how that plays out for all six named ingredients.

Blend math
How much gymnema is in Sugar Reset?
At most 25 mg per 1 mL serving. Here is why that is a ceiling, not a measured amount.
FDA rules say blend ingredients must be listed from heaviest to lightest by weight (FDA, Labeling guide). Gymnema is eighth. Even if the first eight ingredients weighed exactly the same, each would be 25 mg, since 200 divided by 8 is 25. So gymnema cannot be more than 25 mg per serving. It could be much less. This is our math from the label, not a lab test.
| Place | Ingredient | Most per 1 mL | Named on the sales page? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maca root | 200 mg (at least about 9 mg) | Yes |
| 2 | Grape seed | 100 mg | No |
| 3 | Guarana seed | About 67 mg | No |
| 4 | African mango seed | 50 mg | Yes |
| 5 | Eleuthero root | 40 mg | No |
| 6 | Astragalus root | About 33 mg | No |
| 7 | Green tea leaf extract | About 29 mg | Yes |
| 8 | Gymnema leaf | 25 mg | Yes |
Fourteen more ingredients follow gymnema, down to L-carnitine in 22nd place.
Research dose
How does Sugar Reset's gymnema compare with research doses?
At 2 droppers a day, gymnema adds at most 50 mg. LiverTox lists a typical dose of 1,200 mg.
LiverTox gives the typical gymnema dose as 400 mg three times a day (LiverTox, Gymnema). That is 1,200 mg daily. The label says "1 or 2 droppers full daily." It never says how much a dropper holds, so we assume about 1 mL. On that basis, Sugar Reset's ceiling is 25 to 50 mg a day, about 2% to 4% of the typical dose. Reaching 1,200 mg would take 24 times the label's top dose. The label says not to exceed its dose.
Evidence
What do gymnema studies show?
Small studies hint at a mild effect, and nothing more. Here is what LiverTox, a database run by the NIH, reports (LiverTox, Gymnema):
- Several small human trials showed mild drops in fasting glucose.
- Its overall effectiveness in treating diabetes has not been shown.
- Gymnema is not approved as therapy for any condition in the US.
Those trials tested gymnema at full dose. None tested Sugar Reset, and none tested 25 to 50 mg a day. The ADA's 2026 Standards of Care say herb supplements are not recommended for blood sugar benefit (ADA, Standards of Care 2026). Our gymnema research article goes through the studies in more detail.

Where does gymnema stand next to proven options?
Gymnema alone at full dose sits low on the ladder. Sugar Reset's formula has no trials at all.
- 4Guidelines and large trials
- 3Several trials
- 2Small human trials
- 1Lab and animal studies
- Sugar Reset's formulaNo trials found(FDA, Dietary supplements Q&A)
- Gymnema alone, full doseSmall trials, mild effects(LiverTox, Gymnema)
- Metformin (prescription)Large trial: 31% lower risk(NIDDK, DPP)
- Lifestyle programLarge trial: 58% lower risk(NIDDK, DPP) (CDC, National DPP)
Higher means stronger evidence for preventing or managing type 2 diabetes. Gymnema's small trials used far more than the at most 25 mg in a serving of Sugar Reset; no supplement was tested in the Diabetes Prevention Program.
A lifestyle program aiming for 7% weight loss and 150 minutes of activity a week lowered the chance of type 2 diabetes by 58% in a large trial. Metformin lowered it by 31% (NIDDK, DPP).
Safety
Is gymnema safe to take?
Two cautions matter. LiverTox rates gymnema a possible rare cause of liver injury (likelihood score D) (LiverTox, Gymnema). It cites a woman with type 2 diabetes who developed jaundice after drinking gymnema tea.
Stop and call a clinician if your skin or the whites of your eyes turn yellow. If you use insulin or diabetes pills, ask first: the ADA warns some supplement ingredients can intensify these medicines and cause lows (ADA, Vitamins and supplements).
Sugar Reset also contains guarana, green tea extract and a licorice compound, each with its own cautions. The full list is on the side effects page.

FAQ
Gymnema in Sugar Reset: common questions
What is the most gymnema in one Sugar Reset serving?
The label does not say. Gymnema is 8th of 22 ingredients in a 200 mg blend, so each 1 mL serving holds at most 25 mg. It could be much less. That ceiling comes from label order, not from a lab test.
Is the gymnema in Sugar Reset enough to work?
Unlikely, based on the label. At 1 or 2 droppers a day it adds at most 25 to 50 mg, while the typical dose LiverTox lists is 1,200 mg a day. Even at full dose, gymnema has shown only mild effects in small trials.
What is gymnema leaf extract?
An extract from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, an Ayurvedic herb. Sugar Reset lists it as Gymnema Leaf Extract in its proprietary blend, and the sales page names it among six key ingredients.
Can gymnema hurt your liver?
Rarely. LiverTox rates gymnema a possible rare cause of liver injury and describes a woman who developed jaundice after gymnema tea. Stop and call a clinician if your skin or eyes turn yellow.
Can I take gymnema with diabetes medicine?
Ask your clinician first. Per the ADA, certain supplement ingredients may strengthen diabetes medicines enough to cause lows. Readings below 70 mg/dL with symptoms need treatment right away. Keep taking prescribed medicines as directed.
What dose of gymnema do studies use?
LiverTox gives a typical dose of 400 mg three times a day, or 1,200 mg daily. Sugar Reset's most is 25 mg per serving, or 50 mg a day at 2 droppers, assuming a dropper holds about 1 mL.
