Glycemic Foundation Vanilla
Glycemic Foundation Vanilla is an "Other Combinations" supplement, categorized under Joint & Bone, though its name suggests glycemic support. This product contains 12 ingredients, including 10 grams of protein, 130 mg of Calcium, 4 mg of Iron, and 400 mcg of Chromium. Research suggests Chromium may support glucose metabolism, and this ingredient is provided at a clinical dose. However, Calcium and Iron are underdosed compared to established clinical benchmarks. The product has an N+ Score of 58, earning an F grade, indicating it is an average-tier product with notable weaknesses in ingredient adequacy (33%) and formula completeness (25%), despite 100% label transparency. This product may be suitable for individuals seeking a supplement with clinically dosed Chromium, but it falls short in other key areas.
