• Supports healthy blood sugar levels
• Supports pancreatic function
• Helps reduce sugar cravings*

Gymnema is a rainforest plant native to India also known as "Destroyer of Sugar," a reference to its historical use in traditional Indian and Chinese preparations to manage insulin levels. In its homeland, the plant has played a significant role in traditional Ayurveda for centuries.

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.

The powdered leaf is encapsulated or made into a tea or infusion. Consult a physician before using gymnema if you have diabetes or take hypoglycemic medications.

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. Consult your health care provider before beginning use of any herb.
