Gymnema sylvestre - Certified Organic; grain alcohol 60%, spring water. Strength 1:5.
Support for blood sugar regulation/diabetes; has also been shown to reduce cravings for sweets.*
Summary: Avid and thorough Indian research is working hard to quantify and validate the sugar balancing properties of Gymnema. Studies in India as far back as the 1930's have shown that the leaves cause hypoglycemia in animals that were tested: the assumption being that it stimulates the insulin secretion in the pancreas. It is their belief that these findings will further prove the effectiveness of Gymnema in controlling blood sugar. Because of its ease in use, and promising results it is widely used and popularly accepted as a safe and effective treatment in diabetes. However it should be noted that those currently on insulin or hypoglycemic drugs will have to monitor their levels more closely.
Precautions: Gymnema has been shown to enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of insulin and hypoglycemic drugs. Blood glucose levels should be monitored closely.
Suggested Use: Shake well. Twelve years and older, add 1-4 ml (15-60 drops) to a small amount of water and drink. Use 3-4 times daily as needed. To evaporate alcohol before drinking, add to a cup of heated water (no microwave!) and allow to sit for ten minutes before drinking. If an herb is appropriate for children, herb doses for children under 12 are typically 1/2 the adult dose; adjust by weight accordingly or check with a qualified practitioner.
