Benefits of Gymnema
! Gymnema, Gymnema Sylvestre is a
medicinal plant, popularly known as
“gurmar” in Hindi, which means
“sugar destroying” .
! It is a woody climbing plant native
to central/ southern India, Africa,
Vietnam, Japan and Australia.
! Other common names are
Cowplant, or Miracle Fruit.
!  The Gymnema leaves contain bioactive
components of a group of saponins
called gymnemic acid.
!  Other significant constituents include
parabin, glucose and carbohydrates.
!  Gymnema has been an important
herb in traditional Ayurvedic
medicine for centuries.
!  Its uses has been primarily to the
management of diabetes, upper
respiratory infections, and fevers.
!  The saponins can aid with stomach
ailments, constipation, water
retention and liver disease.
!  Gymnema also helps reduce the amount
of lipids in your bloodstream and
possesses anti-atherosclerotic action.
!  Other methods include reducing serum
triglycerides, total cholesterol, very-low-
density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low-
density lipoprotein (LDL).
!  Chewing the leaves, rinsing the mouth
with water, or topical application to the
tongue may selectively inhibit the
sensation of sweetness.
!  As early as 1980s, researchers have started to study the anti-
diabetic effects of Gymnema sylvestre leaf extracts.
!  Studies have shown Gymnema powder to effective in
lowering blood sugar when given 10g/day for seven days.
!  Other studies shows that administration of 200 mg/d of G.
Sylvestre extract decreased the required insulin dose by 50%
and lowered A1C in both type 1 and type 2 Diabetes by 18 to
20 months.
!  Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract appears to have the benefits
on supporting blood glucose homeostasis of diabetic rats
through increased serum insulin levels via repair or
regeneration of the endocrine pancreas.
!  There is little indication of toxicity and contraindications
for the use of Gymnema.
!  This herb has been deemed very safe for adults when taken
in recommended doses.
!  It has also been suggested that this herb may reduce the
amount of triglycerides and LDLs, “bad cholesterol”, in
the bloodstream.
!  Chewing the leaves, or even taking capsule form, can alter
the taste of sugar when ingested and reduce the sweetness.
!  The most common dosage for blood sugar control is 400 to
600 mg when taken with food.
