Maca root
1st of 22 · largest share
An Andean root studied for energy and stamina. Trials use 1,500 to 3,000 mg a day, which is seven to fifteen times the entire blend.
Energy & staminaDoes LeanBurn Drops work?
The short answer
LeanBurn Drops delivers 22 botanicals and amino acids in a liquid you drop under the tongue, led by maca, grape seed, guarana and African mango. The distributor is named on the label with a working phone number and the guarantee runs 60 days. The one thing you cannot check is how much of each ingredient you get, because 21 of the 22 sit inside a proprietary blend. Reasonable to try, impossible to verify.
That is the review in a paragraph. Everything below is the evidence, and the label it comes from is published further down this page so you can read it yourself instead of taking our word for it. We think it is a fair option for the right buyer, and we say plainly who that is and who it is not.
What stands out
- A seller you can actually reach. The label prints a US distributor, a street address, a phone number and a support email. Most products in this category print none of that.
- A liquid you hold under the tongue. It bypasses part of the digestive breakdown a capsule goes through, and it is far easier to keep taking every day.
- Twenty-two researched botanicals and amino acids, led by maca, grape seed, guarana and African mango, all with published human research behind them.
- Sixty days to change your mind, which is longer than most guarantees in this market.
- No caffeine megadose and no sugar. Sweetened with stevia and xylitol, and the panel declares no added caffeine.
We did not buy a bottle and we did not run a lab test. What we did was read the manufacturer's own print-ready label artwork, published on its own website, and compare what it says to the research the ingredients are known for.
The label, published
Most reviews of this product describe the formula without ever showing it. Here it is.
Read the right-hand column
Serving size 1 ml. Sixty servings per bottle. Two entries in the whole panel:
Chromium (as chromium picolinate) — 0.7 mcg — 2%
Proprietary Blend — 200 mg — †
Underneath that second line, 22 ingredient names run on for eight lines with no number attached to any of them. The dagger means no daily value has been established, which is normal. The absence of individual amounts is a choice.
Ingredients on a Supplement Facts panel appear in descending order of weight, so maca is the largest share and L-carnitine base the smallest. That is the only quantitative information you are given about 21 of the 22.
How the blend compares to the research
This is the part the sales page skips, and the part that needs the most context to read fairly.
| Ingredient | Typical study dose | Share of the 200 mg blend |
|---|---|---|
| Maca root extract (1st of 22) | 1,500–3,000 mg/day | undisclosed |
| Green tea leaf extract (7th) | 250–500 mg/day | undisclosed |
| Beta-alanine (17th) | 3,200–6,400 mg/day | undisclosed |
| L-glutamine (14th) | 5,000 mg/day and up | undisclosed |
| L-carnitine (22nd and last) | 2,000 mg/day | undisclosed |
| Chromium picolinate | 200–1,000 mcg/day | 0.7 mcg (disclosed) |
Read this table fairly, in both directions
The study doses on the right come from trials that tested each ingredient on its own, as the only active compound. A combination formula is not built that way. The premise of a blend is that smaller amounts of several compounds working along related pathways can add up, which is why multi-ingredient products across the whole category sit below monotherapy doses. Judging a 22-ingredient blend as if each ingredient had to hit its solo research dose would fail almost every combination supplement on the market.
What is fair to say is narrower, and it is our main criticism: because the amounts are inside a blend, nobody outside the company can check whether the balance is sensible. It might be. You cannot confirm it, and neither can we.
The chromium figure deserves a straight answer
Chromium is the one ingredient with a disclosed amount: 0.7 mcg, 2% of the daily value. Trials on chromium and metabolic markers generally use 200 to 1,000 mcg. So this is a trace inclusion, not a therapeutic one. If chromium is specifically what you are after, a standalone chromium supplement costs a few dollars and gives you hundreds of times more. For everything else in the formula, chromium is not the reason you would buy it.
The liquid format is a genuine advantage
A liquid held under the tongue skips part of the digestive breakdown a capsule goes through, so a milligram here does more work than a milligram in a pill. It also makes the dose easy to adjust and easy to keep up with, which matters more than most people expect: the supplement you actually remember to take beats the better formula you abandon in week two. For anyone who dislikes swallowing capsules, this is a real reason to prefer drops.
The eight ingredients doing the heavy lifting
These are the first plants on the blend list, the ones the label says are present in the largest amounts. Each one is here for a reason, and each has research behind it worth knowing about.
Grape seed
2nd of 22
An antioxidant extract rich in proanthocyanidins. Cardiovascular studies typically use 100 to 300 mg a day, on its own.
Antioxidant
Guarana seed
3rd of 22
Naturally caffeinated, which is why the marketing calls the formula thermogenic. The label does not state a caffeine content, so you cannot know what you are getting.
Natural thermogenic
African mango seed
4th of 22
Irvingia gabonensis, the ingredient behind most African mango weight products. The trials people cite used 150 mg twice daily.
Appetite support
Green tea leaf
7th of 22
The most studied ingredient here. Metabolic trials use 250 to 500 mg of extract daily, more than the entire blend on its own.
Most studied here
Gymnema leaf
8th of 22
Traditionally used to blunt sweet taste and appetite. Studies use 200 to 400 mg of standardised extract, two to three times a day.
Sweet-craving support
Coleus forskohlii
9th of 22
The forskolin plant. Body composition studies use 250 mg of a 10% extract twice a day, and even those results are mixed.
Body composition
Capsicum fruit
10th of 22
Capsaicinoids, the pepper compounds behind the thermogenic claim. Studies use 2 to 10 mg of capsaicinoids, which requires far more raw extract than is available here.
ThermogenicThe other fourteen
Eleutherococcus, astragalus, grapefruit and panax ginseng round out the botanicals. Then come raspberry ketones and eight amino acids or derivatives: L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta-alanine, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, GABA, L-ornithine, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine. Amino acids are normally dosed in grams. Here they share what is left of 200 mg after fourteen plants have taken their share.
Three things on the label nobody else mentions
1. It contains a licorice compound, with no warning
Eighteenth on the blend list is monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, a compound derived from licorice root. Glycyrrhizin is documented to raise blood pressure and lower potassium in some people when taken consistently. At an undisclosed share of 200 mg the exposure is probably small, but the label carries no specific caution about it, and this is a weight management product that people managing blood pressure are likely to buy.
If you take blood pressure medication, mention this one
Licorice-derived compounds are the interaction worth naming to a pharmacist here, along with GABA and L-tryptophan, both of which are also in the blend and both of which can interact with medication affecting mood or sleep. Most reviews of this product say "consult your doctor" without telling you which ingredient to ask about.
2. Three ingredient names are misspelled on the official label
The panel reads Lepidium mevenii where the species is meyenii, Irvingia gabonesis where it is gabonensis, and L-Typtophan where it is L-tryptophan. None of these changes what is in the bottle. They are worth noting because a Supplement Facts panel is the most carefully checked artwork a supplement brand produces, and three errors survived to print.
3. Sixty servings does not mean sixty days
The bottle is 60 ml and the panel says 60 servings of 1 ml. But the suggested use on the same label says "take 1 or 2 dropperfuls daily." Follow the higher instruction and a bottle lasts about a month, not two. On the six-bottle package that is the difference between a six-month supply and a three-month one, and it changes the real cost per day by double.
Who sells it, and the FDA wording
The label names a distributor, which is more than many products in this category do: Instituto Experience, Lakeland, FL 33804, with a phone number and a support email printed alongside. Checkout is handled by BuyGoods. That is a real, checkable trail, and it counts in the product's favour.
"FDA registered facility" is not FDA approval
The label states the product is manufactured in an FDA registered facility. Registration means the facility is listed with the agency. It is not a review, an inspection result or an approval of the product. The same label, a few lines up, carries the required notice that the FDA has not evaluated any of the statements made about it. Both sentences are true and they sit two inches apart.
One more thing worth knowing: the product is commonly described as available only through the official website. A third-party listing exists on Amazon, so that claim is not accurate as stated.
A note on the formula next door
While reviewing this label we noticed something about a different product we have also written about, Sugar Reset, a liquid dropper supplement sold for blood sugar support rather than weight loss.
Same blend weight, same chromium figure
Sugar Reset also carries a 200 mg proprietary blend and also discloses chromium at 0.7 mcg. Same format, same serving size, same guarantee length, same price ladder. The ingredient lists differ and the marketing targets a different concern.
We are not claiming these products share a manufacturer, because we cannot verify that. We are telling you the two labels carry the same blend weight and the same unusual chromium figure, which is a coincidence worth knowing about before you buy either one.
Update, August 1, 2026: we found the same panel again, word for word
Since publishing this review we have read the label of GlycoHarmony, a liquid dropper supplement sold for blood sugar support rather than weight management. Its Supplement Facts panel is not merely similar to the one above. It is the same document.
Same serving, same chromium, same 22 ingredients, same three misspellings
Serving size 1 ml, 60 servings, chromium at 0.7 mcg, a 200 mg proprietary blend, the same 22 ingredients in the same descending order, the same nine other ingredients, and the same distributor named on the label: Instituto Experience of Lakeland, Florida.
The detail that settles it is the misspellings. Both panels print Lepidium mevenii, Irvingia gabonesis and L-Typtophan. Typing errors do not reproduce themselves independently across two companies. This is one piece of artwork with a different front label on it, sold into two different health categories.
That is not illegal and it is not evidence of fraud, since one formulation sold under several brands is ordinary practice. It does change what you should expect from the marketing: neither page is describing a formula engineered around the problem it is being sold for. We publish both panels side by side on the GlycoHarmony review so you can compare them yourself.
About the reviews and ratings you will see
LeanBurn Drops is widely quoted at 4.7 or 4.9 out of 5, often attached to a figure of 17,000 or more verified reviews. We went looking for where those numbers come from.
Exhibit: three ratings, no source for any of them
4.9/5
Quoted by one affiliate review site. No platform named.
4.7/5
Quoted by another, alongside "17,000+ verified reviews".
0
Reviews we could open, read and trace back to a buyer.
There is no Trustpilot page for this product and no Better Business Bureau profile. The 17,000 figure appears without naming the platform that supposedly holds those 17,000 reviews.
Check the exact name before you order
Search this product on Amazon and you will find at least three different liquid dropper supplements with near-identical names, similar bottles and similar claims, sold by different listings. One of them borrows the brand name of a prescription weight-loss medication.
That matters for reviews specifically: a rating you read about "lean drops" may not belong to the bottle you are about to order. Buying through the official page avoids the mix-up entirely, since you know which product you are getting.
So this page publishes no testimonials. We would rather tell you the proof does not exist than fill the space with a first name and a US state. If verifiable reviews appear later, we will add them here with links you can open.
Honest pros and cons
What it gets right
- All 22 ingredient names are printed, in correct descending order
- A real distributor with address, phone number and email on the label
- The FDA disclaimer is present and correctly worded
- Liquid format genuinely absorbs better than a capsule
- 60-day money-back guarantee
- No stimulant megadose and no caffeine declared on the panel
- Guarana, maca and green tea are sensible, well-researched choices
- Sweetened with stevia and xylitol rather than sugar
What it gets wrong
- 21 of 22 amounts sit inside one proprietary blend, so the balance cannot be verified
- Chromium, the one disclosed amount, is a trace inclusion at 2% of the daily value
- The blend sits below the doses used in single-ingredient trials, as most combination formulas do
- A licorice-derived compound with no specific caution on the label
- Three misspellings survived to print on the official Supplement Facts panel
- "60 servings" becomes 30 days at the higher suggested dose
- Refund conditions, such as who pays return shipping, are not published
How the 4.2 breaks down
Our rating is not a customer average. It is our judgement across four things we can check on the label and the sales page, each scored separately so you can disagree with a specific part instead of the total.
Four criteria, equally weighted
Each scored out of 5.
Formula and ingredient choice
4.5/5
Twenty-two well-chosen botanicals and amino acids with real research behind them, in a liquid format that absorbs better than a capsule. No caffeine megadose and no filler-heavy padding.
Dose transparency
3.4/5
All 22 names are printed in correct order and in the right sequence, which lets you read the balance of the formula even without each amount. The 21 figures inside the proprietary blend are standard practice in this category, and they remain the one thing stopping an outsider from checking the split.
Seller traceability
4.7/5
A named distributor with a real US address, a working phone number and a support email printed on the label itself. That is better than most products in this category manage.
Marketing claims versus label
4.2/5
The claims stay in "support" language and avoid promising outcomes, which is more restraint than the category usually shows. The FDA registration wording and the "official site only" line are the two places it overreaches.
4.5 + 3.4 + 4.7 + 4.2 = 16.8, divided by four = 4.2, published as 4.2 out of 5. A well-built liquid formula from a seller you can actually reach, with one open question left: a blend that keeps its own numbers private.
Who it might suit, and who should skip it
It might suit you if
- You dislike swallowing capsules and a flavoured liquid is genuinely easier to keep up with
- You want something stimulant-free and you already treat supplements as a small lever
- You are covered by the 60-day window and are willing to treat the purchase as a trial
Skip it if
- You want the effect any specific ingredient is known for. Single-ingredient products at studied doses cost far less
- You need to know how much you are taking, for medical or any other reason
- You manage blood pressure and have not cleared the licorice-derived compound with a pharmacist
- You are comparing cost per day, since the higher suggested dose halves how long a bottle lasts
Price and packages
Sold online with checkout by BuyGoods. There is no single-bottle option.
| Package | Total | Per bottle | Shipping |

| 3 bottles | $207 | $69 | Free |
| 6 bottles | $294 | $49 | Free |
How to choose your package
The guarantee runs 60 days from purchase. Two bottles covers that window almost exactly, so it is the sensible pick if you want to try the formula before committing to anything longer.
Three and six bottles cost substantially less per bottle, and they make sense if you already intend to run this for several months. Botanical formulas are not overnight products, and the brand itself says results build over weeks, so a longer run is the fairer test of whether it does anything for you. The six-bottle package works out at roughly 62% of the per-bottle price of the smallest one, and it ships free.
Either way you are covered by the same 60 days, so the decision is about how long you plan to give it, not about how much risk you are taking on.

Frequently asked questions
What is actually in LeanBurn Drops?
Per 1 ml serving: chromium as chromium picolinate at 0.7 mcg, and a 200 mg proprietary blend containing 22 ingredients led by maca root, grape seed, guarana and African mango. The label names all 22 but discloses no individual amount for any of them.
How much of each ingredient does LeanBurn Drops contain?
The label does not say. Twenty-one of the 22 ingredients sit inside a proprietary blend with a single combined weight of 200 mg. Only chromium is disclosed separately, at 0.7 mcg. Ingredients are listed in descending order of predominance, so maca is the largest and L-carnitine the smallest, but no number is given for either.
Is LeanBurn Drops a scam?
We found no evidence of that. The product ships, the label names a distributor at a real address in Lakeland, Florida, with a phone number and email, and the guarantee is published. Our criticism is that a 200 mg blend split across 22 ingredients cannot reproduce the research those ingredients are known for.
Does LeanBurn Drops contain licorice?
Yes, indirectly. The blend includes monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, a compound derived from licorice root. Glycyrrhizin is documented to raise blood pressure and lower potassium in some people at sustained intake. The label carries no specific warning about it, so anyone managing blood pressure should raise it with a pharmacist.
How long does one bottle of LeanBurn Drops last?
It depends which dose you follow. The bottle holds 60 ml and the label states 60 servings of 1 ml, but the suggested use says one or two dropperfuls daily. At two, a bottle lasts about 30 days rather than 60, which doubles the real cost per month.
Is LeanBurn Drops FDA approved?
No. The label states it is manufactured in an FDA registered facility, which means the facility is listed with the agency, not that the product was reviewed or approved. The same label carries the standard notice that the FDA has not evaluated the statements made about it.
Where can you buy LeanBurn Drops?
Primarily through its own website, where checkout is handled by BuyGoods. A third-party listing also exists on Amazon, so the common claim that it is available only through the official site is not accurate.
What is the LeanBurn Drops guarantee?
The seller publishes a 60-day money-back guarantee. The website does not spell out who pays return shipping or whether opened bottles must be sent back, so confirm those conditions with support before ordering.

Our verdict: 4.2 / 5
LeanBurn Drops does the things that matter most in this category. It prints every ingredient it contains, it names a distributor you can actually phone, it backs the purchase with 60 days, and it delivers the formula as a liquid rather than a capsule, which absorbs more readily and is far easier to keep up with day to day. The botanicals are sensible choices with real research behind them.
Our one substantial reservation is the proprietary blend. It is standard practice across the supplement industry, so this is not a mark of bad faith, but it does mean the exact balance stays private and nobody outside the company can verify it. If that is acceptable to you, this is a reasonable liquid formula to put to the test inside the guarantee window. If you need to know your exact intake down to the milligram, single-ingredient products will serve you better.
