This extract is made of 3 powerful herbs, Gymnema leaf, Bitter lemon, and Fenugreek seeds.

Gymnema is perhaps most well-known for its ability to help sufferers of diabetes – both types I and II. It improves blood sugar control and reduces high blood glucose levels.  It assists in several ways, including controlling sugar cravings, pancreas regeneration, blood sugar homeostasis and weight reduction. This powerful herb contains the phytochemical “gurmarin”, a substance that modifies the ability of the tongue’s perception of sweet and bitter flavors. A study conducted in India revealed that the atomic arrangement of the herb blocks the sugar receptors of taste buds. As a result, sugar taste buds are not stimulated even with sugar intake. One of the primary active ingredients in Gymnema sylvestre is gymnemic acid – a compound that is structurally like glucose but that acts completely different in the body. Gymnemic acid can block sugar absorption in the intestine and often results in lower blood sugar levels after a meal.

Bitter Melon contains chemicals that act like insulin; These include gallic acid, tannic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, p-coumaric, gentisic acid, chlorogenic acid and epicatechin. Research shows this help to reduce sugar levels, reduce inflammation, balance hormones, regulate appetite, help prevent obesity, prevent tumor growth.

Fenugreek seed can  slow sugar absorption in the stomach and stimulate insulin production. It can also improve levels of testosterone and estrogen aiding in improved libido.
