Description
Gymnema Sylvestre Extract Powder (Gymnemic Acid)
Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climbing shrub native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, India, and Africa. In Ayurveda, it has been used for thousands of years for its unique ability to help regulate blood sugar and curb sweet cravings. Modern research supports these traditional uses, with the National Institutes of Health noting strong scientific evidence for its role in blood sugar control.
The primary active compounds, gymnemic acids, block sugar receptors on the tongue, reducing the perception of sweetness, and may also inhibit sugar absorption in the intestines. This dual action can make sugary foods less appealing while supporting healthy glucose metabolism.
