Gymnema Sylvestre

Gymnema Sylvestre

For more than 2,000 years, people in India have used the
herb Gymnema sylvestre to help control blood sugar. In fact,
the leaves of this climbing plant are prized by practitioners of
Ayurvedic medicine—the holistic system of healing developed
in India and practiced by renowned doctor, Deepak Chopra.
The herb is also called “gurmar,” which literally means
“destroyer of sugar” in Hindi. This name describes the way
that chewing the leaves interferes with your ability to taste
sweetness. Because this amazing herb decreases the sensation
of sweetness in many foods, this may reduce your
cravings for sugary snacks.
Recent scientific studies indicate Gymnema sylvestre
helps:
 
 Balance your fasting blood sugar level...
 Control hemoglobin A1c (average blood sugar) levels for
three months...
 Improve your body’s glycemic control...
Increase the effectiveness of insulin...


Gymnema sylvestre helps control abnormal blood sugar
levels by reducing your absorption of glucose. Just how
does it work?
The herb contains gymnemic acids, which are known to
suppress glucose absorption. Gymnema sylvestre also helps
your pancreas make more insulin to balance blood sugar levels.
These findings are backed by numerous clinical studies.
Dr. K. Baskaran published a study in the Journal of
Ethnopharmacology involving patients who took 400 mg
of Gymnema sylvestre extract daily for 18 to 20 months
along with their oral medications. This group showed a
significant reduction in their fasting blood sugar levels!
Scientific research confirms the powerful sugar busting
effects of Gymnema sylvestre!
