Expected Results/ How it Works : Gymnema has been used for centuries for the treatment of diabetes. It has rightly earned the name of the "sugar eater". Taken with meals, it helps the body to deal with sugar levels in the blood and the sugar content of the meal. The Latin name Gymnema sylvestre means "sugar destroyer" and is considered an herbal remedy for high blood sugar. Gymnema has been clinically proven to reduce excessively high blood sugar levels, perhaps as a result of boosting the production of insulin required to process sugar. Gymnema stimulates insulin secretion and has blood sugar reducing properties. It blocks sweet taste receptors when applied to the tongue in diabetes to remove glycosuria. Besides having these properties, it is a diuretic and regulates metabolic activities of liver, kidney & muscles. The leaves are also noted for lowering serum cholesterol and triglycerides 5. Gymnema also helps with weight loss in two ways. First, it slows the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing stress on the insulin system. Second, it reduces the craving for sweets by removing the "high" a person gets from eating sweets. When a person eats a cookie, their blood glucose normally shoots up, giving them a sugar high. When the insulin system responds to the increased glucose, the blood sugar may drop below normal which makes one want to eat another cookie. Taking Gymnema on a regular basis can help to smooth out this process, ending the cravings. Hypoglycemia: One place Gymnema really shines is with people who have problems with low blood sugar. Both adults and children who are troubled with shakiness, irritability and the other symptoms of hypoglycemia may find rapid relief with it. Gymnema's usefulness for both high blood sugar (diabetes) and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) identifies it as a true tonic. It is the property of tonics that they bring balance. Drugs usually move the system one way or another. Gymnema, like all tonics, moves the system toward balance. The hypoglycemic (blood sugar-lowering) action of Gymnema is gradual in nature, differing from the rapid effect of many prescription hypoglycemic drugs. Gymnema leaves raised insulin levels, according to research in healthy volunteers. Based on animal studies, this may be due to regeneration of the cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin. Other animal research shows that Gymnema can also improve uptake of glucose into cells and prevent adrenaline from stimulating the liver to produce glucose, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. The second ingredient, Momordica charantia, helps to lower blood glucose levels. British researchers have given this plant an alternative name of plant insulin. They have found that eating Momordica charantia over long periods significantly lowers sugar levels in the blood and urine. Throughout history, Momordica charantia has been used in natural medicine for its purifying qualities. Momordica charantia is a blood purifier, activates spleen and liver activity and is highly beneficial in diabetes. It is a purgative, appetizer, digestive, anti inflammatory and anti flatulent.
