Gymnema Sylvestrae is regarded as one of the plants with potent anti diabetic properties. This plant is also used for controlling obesity in the form of Gymnema tea. The active compound of the plant is a group of acids termed as gymnemic acids. It has been observed that there could be a possible link between obesity, Gymnemic acids and diabetes.Gymnema leaf extract, notably the peptide 'Gurmarin', has been found to interfere with the ability of the taste buds on the tongue to taste sweet and bitter. Gymnemic acid has a similar effect. It is believed that by inhibiting the sweet taste sensation, people taking it will limit their intake of sweet foods, and this activity may be partially responsible for its hypoglycemic effect.Latin name – Gymnema sylvestrePositive effects of Gymnema sylvestreSupport healthy sugar levelSupport obesity control Package, composition, dosage:Composition: 100% standardized extract, each capsule contains 500 mg of a standardized extract of Gymnema sylvestre R.
