The Six ZenSulin Ingredients, Read From The Label

The bottle label lists six ingredients, each with an amount. The seller's website lists a different, longer set, so we follow the label. The notes below are general background, not a test of this liquid.*

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.

Not 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.

ZenSulin

Label amount: 500 mg per 2 mL

1. Cinnamon (cassia) Bark, 1:5 Extract

Cassia bark extract. A 1:5 extract normally means one part bark to five of solvent, so 500 mg would hold about 100 mg of bark; the label does not say.

Studied for: Reviews report small, inconsistent falls in fasting glucose with 1 to 6 g of cinnamon a day, far more than this.

Worth knowing: Cassia is rich in coumarin, which can stress the liver at high intakes; at this label's likely amount the exposure is small, but it is not stated.

Label amount: 174 mg per 2 mL

2. Licorice Root, 1:5 Extract

Licorice root extract; on a usual 1:5 basis about 35 mg of root.

Studied for: Used traditionally; no reliable blood-sugar benefit.

Worth knowing: Glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure and lower potassium, mainly at higher intakes; the amount here is not stated.

Label amount: 75 mg per 2 mL

3. Turmeric Root, 1:5 Extract

Turmeric root extract; on a usual 1:5 basis about 15 mg of root.

Studied for: Small trials of curcumin extracts at 500 to 2,000 mg report modest effects on glucose.

Worth knowing: May affect bleeding and gallbladder problems.

Label amount: 50 mg per 2 mL

4. Coriander Seed, 1:5 Extract

Coriander seed extract; on a usual 1:5 basis about 10 mg of seed.

Studied for: A few small trials of coriander report modest glucose effects.

Worth knowing: Allergy to the parsley family is possible.

Label amount: 0.8 mg per 2 mL

5. Bitter Melon Extract (4:1)

A fruit extract used in Asian and Ayurvedic practice; 0.8 mg of a 4:1 extract equals about 3 mg of fruit.

Studied for: Trials use grams of fruit or hundreds of mg of extract.

Worth knowing: A trace here; bitter melon should be avoided in pregnancy.

Label amount: 0.1 mg per 2 mL

6. Japanese Knotweed (98% Resveratrol)

A root extract that is a source of resveratrol.

Studied for: Trials of resveratrol use about 150 to 1,000 mg a day.

Worth knowing: 0.1 mg is about a thousandth of that.

The Dose Question
