Gelatine Sculpt FAQ: 28 questions with clear answers

A dietary supplement sold as liquid drops in a 2 fl oz / 60 ml amber dropper bottle, 60 servings of 1 ml. Its panel names 23 substances: chromium, with an amount against it, and 22 more inside a proprietary blend.

Not according to the label. No gelatine, gelatin or collagen appears among the 22 blend members or in the Other Ingredients line.

The panel uses that phrase. The label's Other Ingredients line carries sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, both synthetic preservatives, and xylitol, a manufactured sugar alcohol. None of our sources calls those unsafe. The phrase and the label describe different bottles.

We do not know, and we have not corrected them: Maintin for Maintain, mevenii for meyenii, gabonesis for gabonensis, Typtophan for Tryptophan. A page that silently fixes a label has stopped quoting it.

23 are named on the Supplement Facts panel. The seller's Inside Gelatine Sculpt graphic shows 6 of them. The label is the document that has to be complete.

Chromium, maca, green tea, African mango, guarana and grape seed: positions one, two, three, four and seven of the blend, plus the one nutrient with a printed figure.

They are eleutherococcus, astragalus, gymnema, coleus forskohlii, capsicum, grapefruit, panax ginseng, raspberry ketones, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, GABA, and the seven amino acids and derivatives — L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta-alanine, L-ornithine, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine. Two of them, the licorice compound and the panax ginseng, carry the strongest safety language in our sources.

One amount is printed on the whole label: chromium at 0.7 mcg, or 2% of the Daily Value. The other 22 sit inside a proprietary blend declared as one figure, 200 mg for all of them together.

An upper bound, and only that. 21 CFR 101.36(c)(2) requires blend members to be listed in descending order of predominance by weight. Heaviest first, with a blend of 200 mg, means position n cannot exceed 200 divided by n milligrams.

No. A ceiling is the most an ingredient could possibly be. The real amount is not published and may be far smaller: position 22 could be 9.1 mg or it could be a grain.

It is arithmetically right: NIH gives the Daily Value as 35 mcg, and of its trials it says doses of chromium picolinate were 200 to 1,000 mcg/day. Before that gap becomes an argument, read NIH's verdict on those trials: Research suggests that supplementation with chromium, mainly in the form chromium picolinate, reduces body weight and body fat percentage to a very small, but statistically significant, extent. However, these effects have little clinical significance.

None, as far as the label says. No extract here is standardised to a marker compound, so even the ceilings cannot be converted into catechins, capsaicinoids, forskolin or glycyrrhizin.

Not published. No total caffeine figure appears anywhere on this label, on the bottle or in the supplier pack.

Two. Guarana at position three, green tea at position seven. NIH gives guarana as 3%-6% caffeine. Applied to guarana's ceiling of 66.7 mg, the most it could contribute is roughly 2 to 4 mg a serving: a ceiling, not a measurement, and the green tea is not counted.

That is a sum this label blocks. NIH puts the amount safe for most adults at 400 to 500 mg a day, a total from every source together. Adding this bottle needs its figure.

The label's directions read: Shake well before each use. Take 1 or 2 droppers full daily. Place in mouth and swallow. Nothing says how many millilitres a dropper holds.

Two answers, and the label supports both. It gives 60 servings of 1 ml. At one serving a day that is 60 days; at two it is 30. The dropper volume that would settle it is not printed, so this site quotes packs in servings.

Four, all dose-dependent: the licorice compound at position eighteen, green tea extract at seven, panax ginseng at twelve, grapefruit extract at eleven. No amount is published for any of them.

The bluntest text we read for this product: Licorice contains a component called glycyrrhizin, or glycyrrhizic acid, that can cause serious adverse effects, such as irregular heartbeat and cardiac arrest, especially when consumed in large amounts or in the long term. NCCIH also records that even small amounts have been linked to severe effects in people who consume a lot of salt and in people with hypertension or heart or kidney conditions. The ceiling here is 11.1 mg, and the amount is not printed.

NIH records that consumption of some green tea extracts has been linked to liver damage in at least 50 case reports since 2006 NCCIH puts it as: Although uncommon, liver injury has been reported in some people who used green tea products, primarily green tea extracts in tablet or capsule form. The ceiling here is 28.6 mg of extract, and the amount is not published.

On ginseng, NCCIH records that Uncommon side effects that have been reported include severe rash, liver damage, and severe allergic reactions. and that Asian ginseng may worsen autoimmune disorders and interfere with blood clotting. On grapefruit, FDA's page is about juice in glassfuls rather than an extract, but its finding that When there is too much drug in the blood, you may have more side effects. matters if you take a prescription.

The label's own caution answers it: Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 18 and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement. On medicines, take the ingredient list to your prescriber. Three entries carry interaction language in our sources and none has a published amount.

One bottle is $69, three is $59 each at $177, six is $49 each at $294: 60, 180 and 360 servings. Three and six carry free US shipping.

60 days from purchase, unless the sales page prints a longer window. It is a purchase policy, not a medical promise. Call the order desk on +1 (925) 231-0148 with the order ID and the email on the order. The website desk cannot see orders and cannot issue a credit.

On gogelatinesculpt.com, which is a USA authorized retailer. Ordering here puts the order on the desk that answers +1 (925) 231-0148. A purchase made elsewhere sits under somebody else's terms.

The label's Distributed By block reads GEX Corp, Lakeland FL 33804, with the number +1 (507) 448-8190. That is a different company in a different state from this retailer, and it cannot see an order placed here. We hold stock and publish the label; we did not write it.

Because none was supplied that could be verified. The review material is marked in the supplier pack as layout copy, and four of its eight entries repeat each other word for word.
