An Ayurvedic Herb Helpful for Diabetics
- Helps manage blood sugar levels
- Aids in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease
- Standardized for gymnemic acids
Gymnema sylvestre is a woody branched vine growing in the wild forests of Central and South India. The plant has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for many different conditions. Gymnema enhances blood sugar metabolism and has been shown to reduce blood glucose, HbA1c, and medication requirements in people with blood sugar imbalances. Gymnema reduces glucose absorption from the intestines, increases peripheral insulin sensitivity and may support the body’s ability to produce its own insulin by helping to repair the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Clinical trials have found that Gymnema can lower blood glucose and decrease the need for insulin in both insulin-dependent (type 1) and insulin-independent (type 2) diabetes.
Balancing blood sugar will help not only to manage diabetes but also reduce weight gain. When used as a mouthwash, Gymnema inhibits the sensation of sweetness by interfering with the tongue's sugar receptors. Gymnema sylvestre has also been found to lower blood lipids in diabetic subjects and it also inhibits the growth of Candida, an opportunistic fungus that inhabits the digestive system of most people.
AOR’s Gymnema-75™ is an evidence-based, high dose extract of Gymnema sylvestre. Those looking for a natural support for blood sugar management and candida control will benefit from supplementing with this ancient Indian herb.
