Sugar Defender Kidney and Liver Safety: What the Sources Say
Sugar Defender kidney and liver safety has not been tested, and the label prints no organ warning. Sources do flag a few blend ingredients: rare liver injury with green tea extract, and one kidney failure case with African mango. Anyone with kidney or liver disease should ask their clinician before use.

The gap01
Has Sugar Defender been tested for kidney or liver safety?
No. We found no organ safety study of the finished drops and no published lab report for the product.
The label asks you to consult a physician if you take other medication, and says nothing about kidney or liver conditions. Silence on a label is not a safety statement; FDA does not approve supplements before sale (FDA, Using Dietary Supplements).
Ingredient flags02
Which ingredients do sources flag for the liver or kidneys?
Green tea and African mango are the two with organ-specific notes. Others raise related questions through blood pressure.
| Ingredient | What the source says |
|---|---|
| Green tea | Liver injury is uncommon but reported, mostly with extracts in tablets or capsules (NCCIH, Green Tea) |
| African mango | One case of kidney failure needing dialysis was reported (MSKCC, Irvingia gabonensis (African mango)) |
| Licorice compound | Glycyrrhizin can cause irregular heartbeat and may affect people with high blood pressure (NCCIH, Licorice Root) |
| Raspberry ketones | Human data only come from multi-ingredient products (OPSS (DoD), Raspberry Ketone) |
These are single reports and small studies, not findings about these drops. Blend amounts are hidden, with an even split near 9 mg per mL (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)).
Your situation03
Does your own situation change the question?
It can, because a supplement is one more thing for your clinician to weigh against your health history.
Keep taking prescribed medicine, and bring the Supplement Facts panel to your clinician. They hold your lab results, which no label can see.

Sugar Defender questions people ask
Does green tea extract in a liquid carry the same liver note as capsules?
The source ties reports mainly to extracts in tablet or capsule form (NCCIH, Green Tea). Whether that carries over to a liquid blend with hidden amounts is unknown.
What are the signs a supplement is bothering the liver?
Ask your clinician, since symptoms vary and testing is needed. Do not wait on a label to tell you; report a serious reaction to FDA (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements).
Why mention the licorice compound for kidney questions?
Glycyrrhizin can affect heart rhythm and is a concern with high blood pressure (NCCIH, Licorice Root). Ask your clinician whether that applies to you.
