…
Did You Know? (Background)
Gymnema has been used since the 1920's to help fight blood sugar rises for diabetics. Gymnema is
known to help raise the level of insulin in the blood. Insulin helps the body to control sugar, thereby
lowering blood sugar.
There's some evidence that gymnema also helps to curb sugar cravings. It also makes it difficult to taste
sweetness after one chews the leaves. This makes it desirable for people who are looking to lower their
sugar intake.
It is thought that gymnema works so well because gymnema molecules very closely resemble sugar
molecules. They may help to block some of the receptors that sugar would normally bind to.
Safety
It's important to monitor blood sugar while taking Gymnema. Gymnema should not be taken as a
substitute for prescription drugs for diabetes. Pregnant and nursing women should not take gymnema
unless supervised by a physician.
