Gymnema sylvestre is a branching, 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 shown that gymnema can lower blood sugar and decrease the need for insulin in both insulin-dependent (type 1) and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes.

Balancing blood sugar not only helps manage diabetes but also reduces weight gain. When used as a mouthwash, gymnema inhibits sweet tastes 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, proven-benefit Gymnema sylvestre extract. Those seeking 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, with its effectiveness in restoring high blood sugar levels 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.
