Gymnema-75

Supports digestionSupports cardiovascular healthHelps maintain normal insulin levelsSupports healthy glucose metabolismGymnema sylvestre is a branched, woody vine that grows in the wild forests of central and southern India. This plant has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat a variety of health conditions, but is best known for improving blood sugar metabolism. It does this by reducing glucose absorption from the gut and increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity; some evidence suggests it may support the body's ability to produce its own insulin, promoting repair of the cells in the pancreas that produce it. Clinical trials have found that gymnema can lower blood sugar levels and decrease the need for insulin in both insulin-dependent (type 1) and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes. Balancing blood sugar levels not only helps manage diabetes, but also helps reduce weight gain. When used as a mouthwash, gymnema inhibits the sweet taste by interfering with sugar receptors on the tongue. Gymnema has been found to reduce blood lipids in diabetic subjects and also inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungus known to cause a wide range of health problems. AOR's Gymnema-75 is a high dose of the proven benefits of Gymnema sylvestre extract. Those looking for natural support for blood sugar management and candida control will benefit from supplementing with this ancient Indian herb. Gymnema sylvestre has a long and distinguished history in Ayurvedic medicine for its effectiveness in bringing high blood sugar levels back to normal by promoting healthy glucose metabolism. Active terpenoids known as gymnemic acids have been scientifically proven to be responsible for the health benefits of Gymnema sylvestre.
