Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
A simple sugar and the body's primary energy molecule, used in supplements as a sweetener, carrier, or quick energy source, and sometimes as part of a binder system in tablets.
Why it’s used
Included to provide a readily available carbohydrate energy source, sweeten a product, or serve a manufacturing role such as bulking or dissolving aid in some formulations.
What the evidence says
Glucose's role in providing energy is basic physiology rather than a supplement claim requiring clinical trial evidence; there is no efficacy question in the sense used for other actives, since it is not taken to produce a specific health effect beyond providing calories.

Context
