What is in Normal Blood Sugar Drops?

|---|---|---|
| Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) bark, 1:5 extract | 500 mg | Well-known for its role in helping maintain healthy glucose balance |
| Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) fruit, 4:1 extract | 0.8 mg | Well-known for its role in helping maintain healthy glucose balance |

What does the research say about each main ingredient?
Cinnamon
A meta-analysis combines the results of several trials into one analysis. A cinnamon meta-analysis on PubMed Central grouped its trials by dose, above and below 2,000 mg a day, and by whether participants had type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Its outcomes included total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde, both markers of oxidative stress. The label’s 500 mg is an extract amount, so compare it with those trial doses carefully.
Cinnamon also has a safety notice. In March 2024, the FDA alert on certain ground cinnamon products said some ground cinnamon products had elevated levels of lead, and it advised consumers to throw those products away. This product lists cinnamon bark extract, not ground cinnamon. The Normal Blood Sugar Drops product page does not show lead testing results. Ask Project M Supps for those results before you order.
Bitter melon
WebMD’s bitter melon page says research on bitter melon for blood sugar is mixed. Some studies show it may help and others do not. Even in studies that show benefit, it does not seem to lower blood sugar by a meaningful amount.
RxList’s bitter melon page reports that some studies found bitter melon fruit, juice or extract improved glucose tolerance and lowered HbA1c, a measure of average blood sugar over about three months, in people with type 2 diabetes. RxList adds that those studies have some flaws. It also says bitter melon fruit is possibly safe for most people taken by mouth in the short term, and that long-term safety beyond 3 months is not known.
Licorice root, turmeric, coriander seed and resveratrol
The product page describes licorice root and coriander seed as long valued in traditional wellness practices. It describes turmeric and resveratrol as antioxidant support. Ask Project M Supps which studies it relies on for each one before you order.
What side effects are reported for these ingredients?
| Effect | Ingredient and source |
|---|---|
| Constipation, diarrhea, headache, heartburn, upset stomach | Bitter melon, common side effects per WebMD’s bitter melon page |
| Headaches, dizziness, stomach upset, abdominal pain, bloating, indigestion | Bitter melon, if used in large amounts, per Vinmec’s bitter melon guide |
| Blood sugar dropping too low | Bitter melon taken with diabetes medicines, per RxList’s bitter melon page |
The Normal Blood Sugar Drops product page does not list side effects. The effects above come from bitter melon sources, not from a report about this product. If you notice any of them after starting, ask your clinician what to do. For a list of safety questions to ask about drops like this, see metabolic drops side effects.
Which medicines should you ask about?
- Diabetes medicines. RxList says bitter melon may make blood sugar drop too low when added to diabetes medicines. Cleveland Clinic’s guide to lowering blood sugar advises talking to your provider before starting supplements said to lower sugar, or any medicines, if you take diabetes medicines.
- Steroids. MD Anderson’s blood sugar tips say some medicines, such as steroids, can increase blood sugar. It advises contacting your care team if you take them.
- Other medicines. Ask your pharmacist to check your full list against the ingredients above. Include blood thinners, blood pressure medicines, thyroid medicines and antidepressants.
Who should ask a clinician first?
- Pregnant women. The label says to consult a healthcare professional before using this product. RxList says bitter melon is likely unsafe when taken by mouth during pregnancy.
- Nursing mothers. The label applies. RxList says not enough is known about bitter melon during breastfeeding, and it advises staying on the safe side and avoiding use.
- Anyone under 18. The label applies.
- Anyone with a known medical condition. The label applies.
- People with G6PD deficiency. Vinmec’s bitter melon guide says people with this enzyme deficiency should avoid bitter melon. G6PD is an enzyme that plays a role in red blood cell metabolism.
- Anyone with surgery scheduled. Tell your surgical team about every supplement you take.

How do you start, and when should you stop?
The label directions say to shake well before each use. Adults take 2 ml (40 drops) by mouth once per day, preferably in the morning. Fill the dropper and dispense directly into the mouth or add it to your preferred beverage. If desired and well tolerated, an additional serving may be taken later in the day. The label also says not to exceed the recommended dose.
The product page also says adults can take 2 drops once daily by dropper. That differs from 2 ml (40 drops). Follow the bottle label, and ask Project M Supps to clear up the difference before you order.
RxList says the safety of bitter melon beyond 3 months is not known, so ask your clinician how long you should take it. The CDC’s manage blood sugar page says your doctor may want you to check your blood sugar more often if you take insulin or often have low blood sugar. Ask whether that applies to you before you start.
Ask your clinician what to do if you notice any of the effects listed above. If a blood sugar number falls outside your target, a blood sugar number is out of range explains what to record before you react.
