How to read it: six ingredients, each with an amount. Cinnamon has the largest figure, yet if 1:5 is read in the usual way even that is about 100 mg of bark, and the others are smaller; bitter melon and resveratrol are traces. All are far below trial doses. The label calls it "Natural Diabetes Support", which is a disease claim, and its own caution says the safety of the product has not been determined. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use.
ZenSulinNot on the label: the seller's page lists berberine, Ceylon cinnamon, gymnema, alpha-lipoic acid, chromium, magnesium and zinc, none of which appears on the bottle label we were given.
