Contact SupplierDiabetic care caps contains Gymnema sylvestre, which is a tropical herb originating in southern India, has been used for thousands of years to treat type 2 diabetes and several other medical conditions. Today, practitioners of Ayurvedic traditional medicine recommend gymnema as a treatment for high blood sugar, diabetes, high cholesterol, inflammation and obesity. Gymnema is generally regarded as safe and associated with few side effects or drug interactions.
Diabetic patients were orally administered 1 gram of gymnema extract daily for 60 days. The herb induced increases in circulating insulin and C-peptide which produced reductions in fasting and post-prandial glucose. Also, in vitro measurements of human cells demonstrated direct stimulatory effects of insulin secretion. Neuroprotective effects of Gymnema sylvestre on streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathy in rats. The results demonstrated that the brain cell protective effect of Gs may be associated with the inhibitory effect on the excessive activation of inflammatory molecules and oxidative stress mediators.
Antidiabetic effect of a leaf extract from Gymnema sylvestre in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients. The effectiveness of these capsules are derived from an extract from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, in controlling hyperglycaemia Type 2 diabetic patients on conventional oral anti-hyperglycaemic agents. Gymnema (400 mg/day) was administered for 18-20 months as a supplement to the conventional oral drugs. During supplementation, the patients showed a significant reduction in blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin and glycosylated plasma proteins, and conventional drug dosage could be decreased. Most of the diabetic patients were able to discontinue their conventional drug and maintain their blood glucose homeostasis with Gymnema alone. These data suggest that the beta cells may be regenerated/repaired in Type 2 diabetic patients with supplementation. This is supported by the appearance of raised insulin levels in the serum of patients after supplementation.
