The Gelatide Supplement Label, Line by Line
The Gelatide label names six botanical extracts in a 2 fl oz (60 mL) bottle.
It also says DIETARY SUPPLEMENT and prints three support lines. This page goes through every row of the panel.
Learn about each extract on the ingredients page.
This page prints the panel as it stands, explains what each blank costs a buyer, and describes what a good label in this category actually looks like.
The Gelatide panel, exactly as supplied to this desk
| Net contents | 2 fl oz / 60 mL |
|---|---|
| Form | Liquid drops |
| Serving size | not published |
| Servings per container | not published |
| Calories per serving | not published |
| Green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaf extract | not published |
| Guarana (Paullinia cupana) seed extract | not published |
| African mango (Irvingia gabonensis) seed extract | not published |
| Coleus forskohlii root extract | not published |
| Capsicum annuum fruit extract | not published |
| Raspberry ketones | not published |
| Total caffeine | not published |
| Other ingredients | not published |
Two rows carry information. Eleven do not. This desk has been supplied with front-label artwork and the seller’s two listing panels, and none of the three carries a number against an ingredient name.
It is worth being precise about what that does and does not mean. It does not mean the physical bottle in a warehouse carries no rear panel; this desk has not been sent a photograph of one and will not assert either way. It does mean that everything the seller publishes to a prospective buyer, and everything supplied to the desk selling it, is silent on amounts. A buyer deciding today has nothing to work with.
What every missing figure on the Gelatide label takes away from you
| Missing figure | What you cannot do without it |
|---|---|
| Serving size | Know how much of the bottle a day uses, or check whether the 30-day supply the ladder implies is right. |
| Servings per container | Work out the true cost per serving rather than per day. |
| Green tea extract amount | Compare against the 270–1,200 mg of catechins used in the pooled trials, or judge the liver caution the USP asks for. |
| Guarana extract amount | Estimate any part of the caffeine load. |
| African mango amount | Compare against the 150 mg twice daily used in the trials the systematic review examined. |
| Forskohlii amount and standardisation | Compare against 250 mg of a 10 percent extract twice daily, which is what the 2005 trial used. Without the percentage the milligrams would not be enough anyway. |
| Capsicum amount | Compare against the 0.9–10 mg of capsaicinoids that produced the only appetite finding on this panel. |
| Raspberry ketone amount | Nothing, in fairness. There is no human trial to compare it against. |
| Total caffeine | Judge your own tolerance, or let a pharmacist judge an interaction. |
| Other ingredients | Identify the carrier the drops are suspended in, check for an allergen, or see whether there is added sugar or a sweetener. |
Nine of those ten are questions a buyer might reasonably want answered before spending $158. The tenth is the only one where the missing figure genuinely costs nothing, and only because the research is missing too.
What a good label would look like, against the Gelatide one
Seven things. This label does none of them.
This is not a hypothetical standard. Supplement labels that do all of the following exist, cost the same to print, and are made by companies competing in the same category.
- A milligram figure against every named ingredient. The baseline. Everything else on this list is refinement.
- An extract ratio or a standardisation percentage. “Coleus forskohlii root extract 250 mg (standardised to 10% forskolin)” is a usable line. Without the percentage, the milligrams tell you less than you think.
- A total caffeine declaration. Any product carrying a caffeine-bearing botanical should print it. It is a cheap, routine assay.
- A complete other-ingredients line. Carrier, preservative, sweetener, flavouring. This is where allergens live.
- A serving size and a servings-per-container count. For a dropper bottle, stated in millilitres or in drops, not left to the buyer.
- The cautionary statement the USP asks for on products carrying green tea extract. The review that prompted it is public.
- A third-party verification mark that can be looked up. The USP Dietary Supplements Verification Program is the best-known, and its whole value is that a consumer can check the listing independently.
Gelatide carries none of the seven. That is a fair thing to say about a product this desk sells, and it is a fairer thing than the alternative, which would be to print the six ingredient names in a nice typeface and let the reader assume the numbers exist somewhere.
It is worth adding what the list does not demand, because a standard that asks for the impossible is easy to dismiss. It does not ask for a clinical trial of the finished product; almost nothing in this category has one. It does not ask for organic sourcing, or for a particular country of origin, or for any claim about efficacy at all. Every one of the seven items is a statement of fact that the manufacturer already knows, because it had to know them to make the product. Printing what you already know is the cheapest form of transparency there is, and the decision not to print it is therefore a decision rather than an oversight.
What a Gelatide buyer can actually do about it
- ✓Ask the seller before you buy. A question about total caffeine is reasonable, cheap to answer, and the answer or the silence tells you something either way.
- ✓Photograph the rear panel when it arrives. If your bottle carries figures, this desk wants them: [email protected]. They would be published here with the date moved.
- ✓Take the bottle to a pharmacist. They will tell you the same thing this page does, which is itself useful confirmation.
- ✓Use the guarantee as the control. Sixty days is what actually limits your exposure on a label you cannot evaluate.
- ✓Judge the seller by the panel, not the packaging. The FTC expects advertisers to hold substantiation for claims. A label that will not print an amount is not obviously holding it.
How this Gelatide label page was written
This desk publishes what the bottle says and marks the gaps. The four claims below are the ones a sceptical reader can audit in ten minutes, which is the only reason to make them:
- The bottle is the source. The three support lines, the 2 fl oz volume, the liquid-drop format and the six ingredient names come from the printed label and the seller’s own listing artwork, not from a review column.
- The gaps are marked, never filled in. This label carries no amount for any of its six botanicals, no caffeine total and no serving size. Nothing undisclosed is estimated anywhere on this website, including in the structured data a machine reads.
- Sources are real and linked in the sentence. Every study cited here was confirmed against its PubMed record before it was written down, and the government pages were opened in a browser rather than assumed, because several of those hosts answer an automated request with a 404 that looks exactly like a dead link.
- Corrections change the date. Write to [email protected] and the review date at the foot of the page moves forward.
We earn when you buy. Gelatidefit is the Gelatide retail desk named at the top of this page, and this website makes money on orders placed through it. That is exactly why the missing-amounts table, the three-star reviews and the page explaining why the appetite claim is the thinnest of the three are here: they are where our interest and yours pull apart, and you should be able to watch us choose.
The desk on +1 (202) 604-0611 handles tracking, address changes, cancellations and refunds. It is not a sales line and this website never presents it as a way to place an order; orders go through the checkout only.

Gelatide label questions
Does Gelatide have a Supplement Facts panel?
The artwork supplied to this desk shows a front label with six ingredient names and no amounts. No rear-panel photograph was provided, so this website states what it has been given and does not speculate about the physical bottle.
Why does Gelatide not print milligrams?
Only the manufacturer can answer that. The common commercial reasons are protecting a formulation from copying, or amounts that would not compare well against the research. This desk does not know which applies and will not guess.
Is a label without amounts legal?
Dietary ingredients must be declared on a Supplement Facts panel, and the FDA's labeling guide sets out how. What this desk can say is what it was shown, which carries no amounts, and that the seller's own listing artwork carries none either.
What is the total caffeine in Gelatide?
Not published. Two of the six ingredients carry caffeine and no total appears anywhere in the material supplied to this desk.
