GYMNEMA
(Gymnema sylvestre)

Indian physicians first used Gymnema to treat diabetes almost two thousand years ago. In the 1920s, preliminary scientific studies found evidence that Gymnema leaves can reduce blood sugar levels, but nothing much came of this observation for decades. Today, however, Gymnema has become increasingly popular in the United States as a supportive treatment for diabetes.

CONTRA INDICATIONS: People with diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) should use Gymnema only under the supervision of a physician. It is important to note that Gymnema should never be used in place of insulin. Gymnema can enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of insulin and hypoglycemic drugs and, thus, blood glucose levels. Therefore, blood glucose levels must always be monitored closely by a health care provider.
