Specification: *5%Gymneric acids(By HPLC) Description: Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climbing plant that grows in the tropical forests of central and southern India. The leaves are used in herbal medicine preparations. G. sylvestre is known as "periploca of the woods" in English and meshasringi (meaning “ram’s horn”) in Sanskrit. The leaves, when chewed, interfere with the ability to taste sweetness, which explains the Hindi name gurmar—“destroyer of sugar.” Function: Gymnema sylvestre, known as the "sugar destroyer", is showing up in more and more over the counter weight loss products and blood sugar balancing formulas. Blood Sugar:The main focus of gymnema research is blood sugar regulation and glucose metabolism. It has been used in India for treatment of diabetes for about ***0 years. Weight Loss: By placing the herb on your tongue or drinking the tea, the perception of sugar or aspartame is reduced or eliminated completely. That may come in handy if you want to deter a binge on chocolate cheesecake.
