How does Gymnema Extract
work?
Gymnema is a traditional Ayurvedic herb with a 3,000 year history of balancing elevated blood sugar levels. This woody, vine-like plant is known in India as the "destroyer of sugar". The active ingredients,
gymnemic acid and gurmarin, have similar molecular structures to glucose and are beneficial in many ways. Gurmarin has the ability to fill taste bud receptors and reduce the sweet taste of sugary foods, which greatly reduces the craving for sweet. Gymnemic acid helps increase the production of insulin by stimulating the production of new insulin-promoting cells, called "beta-cells" in the pancreas. Gymnemic acid also facilitates insulin release from the beta-cells into the blood stream by increasing beta-cell membrane permeability. Gymnemic acid also inhibits the absorption of sugar molecules in the intestines during digestion, thus reducing increases in blood sugar levels. Finally,
Gymnema has also been shown to significantly lower cholesterol in animal models.
