Gymnema sylvestre is a branched, woody vine that grows in the wild forests of central and southern India. This plant has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat various health conditions, but is best known for improving blood sugar metabolism. It does this by reducing glucose absorption from the intestine and increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity; some evidence suggests that it may support the body's ability to produce its own insulin, promoting the repair of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Clinical trials have shown that gymnema can lower blood sugar and reduce the need for insulin in both insulin-dependent (type 1) and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes.
Balancing blood sugar not only helps manage diabetes but also reduces weight gain. When used as a mouthwash, gymnema inhibits sweet taste by interfering with sugar receptors on the tongue. Gymnema has been found to reduce blood lipids in diabetics and also inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungus known to cause a wide range of health problems.
AOR's Gymnema-75 is a high dose of Gymnema sylvestre extract with proven benefits. Those seeking natural support for blood sugar management and candida control will benefit from supplementing with this ancient Indian herb.
Gymnema sylvestre has a long and distinguished history in Ayurvedic medicine, demonstrating its effectiveness in normalizing high blood sugar levels by promoting healthy glucose metabolism. Active terpenoids known as gymnemic acids have been scientifically proven to be responsible for the health benefits of Gymnema sylvestre.
