Herbal Extracts

Alias: Gymnema Sylvestre P.E.

Gymnema sylvestre leaves contain gymnemic acids, which are known to suppress transport of glucose from the intestine into the blood stream and a small protein, gurmar, that can interact with receptors on the tongue to decrease the sensation of sweetness in many foods. This dual action has been shown to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels in diabetic animals and humans and may provide some benefits in terms of regulating appetite control and food cravings.

Action:

1) The hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) effect of gymnema has been known for centuries.

2) The effect of gymnema extract on lowering blood levels of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides is fairly gradual - typically taking a few days to several weeks. Very high doses of the dried gymnema leaves may even help to repair the cellular damage that causes diabetes (by helping to regenerate the insulin producing beta-cells in the pancreas).
