Berberine HCl (BerberPure)
The headline ingredient and the largest amount on the panel. A plant alkaloid studied for blood sugar and lipid measures. Its best-known drawback is a stomach one, and this label puts the whole gram into a single sitting.
GlucoGold Ingredients: Six Actives and Their Amounts
GlucoGold Advanced has six active ingredients, each with its own amount and no proprietary blend.
Per 3-tablet serving: berberine 1,000 mg, oleoylethanolamide (OEA) 250 mg, chromium 200 mcg, white mulberry leaf 100 mg, cinnamon cassia bark 75 mg and banaba leaf 48 mg.
Quick answer
GlucoGold Advanced declares six active ingredients, each with its own amount per three-tablet serving: chromium as chromium polynicotinate 200 mcg at 571% of the Daily Value, berberine hydrochloride 1,000 mg from a Berberis aristata extract sold as BerberPure, oleoylethanolamide 250 mg, white mulberry leaf extract 100 mg at 1% DNJ, cinnamon cassia bark extract 75 mg, and banaba leaf extract 48 mg at 1% corosolic acid. There is no proprietary blend.
The six GlucoGold ingredients, one by one
Every name below is printed on the panel with its amount. Nothing is estimated.
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA)
A fat made in the small intestine that signals fullness. A 2025 meta-analysis found doses of 250 mg and above did more for weight and glucose measures. This label sits exactly on that line.
Chromium (as chromium polynicotinate)
The only ingredient here with a Daily Value, and it reads 571%. That number is large because the Daily Value is 35 mcg, not because 200 mcg is an extreme dose.
White mulberry leaf extract
Standardised to 1% 1-deoxynojirimycin, so 1 mg of DNJ per serving. DNJ slows the enzymes that break starch into sugar in the gut, which is why mulberry is taken before a meal.
Cinnamon cassia bark extract
Cassia is the common cinnamon in North America. It works in the same blood sugar territory and it is also the type that carries coumarin, which we cover on the safety page.
Banaba leaf extract
Standardised to 1% corosolic acid, so 0.48 mg of corosolic acid. The trial we read used 500 mg of banaba twice a day, which is far more than this.

This is the whole active panel. Two columns of numbers, and not one of them hidden.
| Ingredient | Amount per 3-tablet serving | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium (as chromium polynicotinate) | 200 mcg | 571% |
| Berberine Hydrochloride [from Berberis aristata Extract (bark and root)(BerberPure®)] | 1,000 mg | Daily Value not established |
| Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) | 250 mg | Daily Value not established |
| White Mulberry Extract (leaf)(1% 1-deoxynojirimycin) | 100 mg | Daily Value not established |
| Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) Extract (bark) | 75 mg | Daily Value not established |

Other ingredients
Croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, hypromellose, silica, magnesium stearate, glycerin, and hydroxypropyl cellulose.
What the panel does not doThere is no proprietary blend anywhere on this label. Every active ingredient carries its own number, which means every dose on it can be checked against published research. In this category that is the exception, not the rule.
Why the missing blend matters more than anything else here
Most products in this category group most of their formula into a proprietary blend. Federal labelling rules allow it: the manufacturer prints one total weight, lists the members in order of weight, and stops. You learn the order and never the amounts.
GlucoGold does not do that. Six actives, six numbers. You can take this bottle to a pharmacist and they can give you a real answer, because there is a real number beside every name.
It also means the product is accountable. A blend label cannot be wrong about a dose, because it never states one. A panel like this one can be checked against every study we cite, and where an amount falls short we can say so. Banaba does fall short, and we say so in the next section but one.
If you take nothing else from this page: a printed amount is worth more than a long ingredient list. Twenty-two names inside one blend total tells you less than six names with six numbers.
What the standardisation percentages on the GlucoGold label mean
Two of the botanicals carry a percentage in brackets. Those brackets change what the milligrams are worth, and they are the part most people skip.
| What the panel prints | What it means | The active amount |
|---|---|---|
| White Mulberry Extract (leaf)(1% 1-deoxynojirimycin), 100 mg | Standardised so that 1% of the extract is DNJ, the compound mulberry is studied for | 1 mg of DNJ per serving |
| Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) Extract (leaf)(1% corosolic acid), 48 mg | Standardised so that 1% of the extract is corosolic acid | 0.48 mg of corosolic acid per serving |
| Berberine Hydrochloride [from Berberis aristata Extract (bark and root)(BerberPure)], 1,000 mg | The amount of berberine hydrochloride itself, not of a raw herb | 1,000 mg of berberine HCl |
| Chromium (as chromium polynicotinate), 200 mcg | The amount of elemental chromium, in the polynicotinate form | 200 mcg of chromium |
Standardisation is a good sign in itself. It means the manufacturer is buying to a specification rather than to a weight, and that two bottles should contain the same amount of the thing that matters. It also lets you do arithmetic a raw-herb label will not allow.
The three jobs inside the GlucoGold formula
Read as jobs rather than as a list, the six make more sense.
Slowing the meal down
White mulberry leaf, standardised for DNJ, works on the gut enzymes that break starch into sugar. Banaba's corosolic acid is studied in the same area. Both only act on food that arrives after them, which is why the serving is before a meal.
Working inside the cell
Berberine is the large one here at 1,000 mg, and it is studied for what it does to how cells handle glucose and lipids rather than for blocking anything in the gut. Chromium sits alongside it in the same insulin-signalling territory.
Signalling fullness
Oleoylethanolamide is a fat the small intestine makes after eating, which the body uses as a satiety signal. It is the newest name on this panel and the one with the thinnest human evidence base, though 250 mg is a properly studied amount.
The other ingredients line on the GlucoGold label
The panel's other-ingredients line reads: croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, hypromellose, silica, magnesium stearate, glycerin, and hydroxypropyl cellulose.
None of those is active. Croscarmellose sodium is a disintegrant, the thing that makes a tablet break apart once it is swallowed rather than passing through whole. Microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate are fillers, giving the tablet its body.
Hypromellose and hydroxypropyl cellulose form the coating and hold the tablet together. Silica keeps the powder flowing during manufacture, magnesium stearate stops it sticking to the machinery, and glycerin softens the coat.
It is an ordinary, unremarkable excipient list for a pressed tablet, and there is no wheat, barley or rye in it, which is what the gluten-free claim on the quality panel reflects.
Colour variation is on the label on purpose
The bottle says: due to the nature of these ingredients, color variation may occur. Berberine is a strong yellow pigment and plant extracts differ batch to batch, so two bottles can look slightly different. That is normal and it is not a reason to return anything.
One thing this panel does not tell you
The cinnamon extract carries no standardisation percentage, unlike the mulberry and the banaba. That is a small gap on an otherwise unusually clear label, and it means the 75 mg cannot be converted into an amount of any particular compound.

What exactly is in GlucoGold?
Six active ingredients, each with a printed amount: chromium as chromium polynicotinate 200 mcg, berberine hydrochloride 1,000 mg, oleoylethanolamide 250 mg, white mulberry leaf extract 100 mg, cinnamon cassia bark extract 75 mg and banaba leaf extract 48 mg.
Does GlucoGold use a proprietary blend?
No, and that is worth saying loudly. Every active carries its own number, so you can check every dose against the research yourself.
How much berberine is in GlucoGold?
1,000 mg per three-tablet serving, as berberine hydrochloride from a Berberis aristata bark and root extract sold under the BerberPure name. That is the largest single amount on the panel by a wide margin.
What is OEA?
Oleoylethanolamide, a fat the small intestine makes after a meal that acts as a fullness signal. There is 250 mg per serving, and a 2025 meta-analysis found doses at or above 250 mg did more for weight and glucose measures.
Why does the chromium say 571% of the Daily Value?
Because the Daily Value for chromium is 35 mcg and this serving carries 200 mcg. A large percentage here reflects a small reference figure, not an extreme dose. 200 mcg is a common amount in chromium research.
Why do the tablets vary in colour?
The label says so directly: due to the nature of these ingredients, colour variation may occur. Plant extracts differ batch to batch. It is not a fault.
