Gymnema Sylvestre

Gymnema Sylvestre:  This is a vine native to Africa and and India.  In Ayurvedic medicine, it is known as “Gurmar,” meaning “Sugar Destroyer.” It works primarily by containing gymnemic acids, which temporarily block sweet taste receptors on the tongue and reduce sugar absorption in the intestines, helping to curb sugar cravings and support balanced blood glucose levels. Gymnema also supports pancreatic function and promote healthy insulin activity. Herbal attributes include hypoglycemic, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mild digestive-supportive properties. Nutritionally, it contains saponins (gymnemic acids), flavonoids, and gurmarin peptides that contribute to its metabolic and antioxidant effects, making it a valuable herb for blood sugar regulation and metabolic wellness.
