Millions of Americans have difficulty maintaining stable blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.1 The herb Gymnema is traditionally known as “gurmar” (the sugar destroyer). For the past 1500 years, Ayurvedic physicians have used a combination of diet and Avesta Gymnema leaf to help support normal blood sugar levels.2

May help support healthy function of the pancreas.
Research has shown that Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) has a beneficial effect on Beta cells in the pancreas,3 and delays glucose absorption in the intestine4. This activity helps protect the pancreas from releasing too much insulin. Long-term intake of Gymnema leaf extract lowered the body weight and triglyceride levels of rats fed a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, whether they were lean or over-weight and without altering their serum levels of insulin.5 The inhibition of body weight gain and cholesterol levels by Gymnema leaf extract has been attributed to the constituent, gymnemagenin.
