FAQ
Olivaro ingredients: questions people ask
What is in Olivaro?
Olivaro contains chromium picolinate plus a 200 mg blend of 22 ingredients per mL. The blend includes maca, grape seed, guarana, African mango, green tea, gymnema, Panax ginseng, grapefruit, licorice compound, raspberry ketones and eight amino acids.
What is the main ingredient in Olivaro?
Maca root extract is listed first in the blend, so it is the largest share by weight. Its amount is not printed. Chromium is the only ingredient with a stated amount, 0.7 mcg per mL.
What is gymnema good for?
Gymnema is a leaf extract best known for dulling sweet taste. Small studies at 200-400 mg per day found a small drop in fasting glucose. Olivaro's gymnema share is unknown and sits inside the 200 mg blend per mL.
How much chromium should I take?
The Daily Value for chromium is 35 mcg. Blood sugar studies used 200-1,000 mcg per day, with mixed results. Olivaro gives 0.7 mcg per mL. Ask your doctor before taking more, especially if you use diabetes medicine.
Does Olivaro have caffeine?
Yes, from guarana and green tea extracts, but no amount is printed. Both sit inside a blend capped at 400 mg per day, so total caffeine is well below that. Sensitive people may notice it.
Why does Olivaro hide the ingredient amounts?
U.S. rules allow a proprietary blend. It must show the total weight and list ingredients from most to least, but not each amount. For you, it means no blend ingredient can be checked against research.
