Bitter Lemon
Momordica charantia is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, widely grown in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean for its edible fruit. In the traditional medicine in India, it is used for Diabetes (especially Polypeptide-p an analogue found in the plant)
A report published in the March 2008 issue of Chemistry and Biology found that bitter melon increased cellular uptake of glucose and improved glucose tolerance.
Gynema Sylvestre
Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climbing shrub that's native to the tropical forests of India, Africa and Australia. Its leaves have been used in the ancient Indian medicinal practice Ayurveda for thousands of years.
Gymnema Sylvestre is known as gur-mar, or "sugar destroyer.
G. sylvestre leaves have been found to cause hypoglycemia in laboratory animals and have found a use in herbal medicine to help treat adult onset diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
“One such beneficial herb is Gymnema sylvestre, possessing remarkable hypoglycemic properties and forms the platform of diabetes therapeutics in the traditional system of medication”.
Prickly Pear Cactus aka Nopal
Opuntia, commonly called prickly pear, is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae. Prickly pears are also known as tuna (fruit), sabra, nopal (paddle, plural nopales. In Mexico it is highly touted to help significantly with Diabetes.
The beneficial effects of Banaba and corosolic acid with respect to various aspects of glucose and lipid metabolism appear to involve multiple mechanisms, including enhanced cellular uptake of glucose, impaired hydrolysis of sucrose and starches, decreased gluconeogenesis, and the
Preparations can be used as a nutraceutical agent to ameliorate diabetes type 2 and are necessary to further elucidate the antidiabetic action.
Lagerstromia speciosa
Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa L.) extracts have been used for many years in folk medicine to treat diabetes, with the first published research study being reported in 1940
Corosolic acid has been reported to decrease blood sugar levels within 60 min in human subjects The beneficial effects of Banaba and corosolic acid with respect to various aspects of glucose and lipid metabolism appear to involve multiple mechanisms, including enhanced cellular uptake of glucose, impaired hydrolysis of sucrose and starches, decreased gluconeogenesis,
The beneficial effects of Banaba and corosolic acid with respect to various aspects of glucose and lipid metabolism appear to involve multiple mechanisms, including enhanced cellular uptake of glucose, impaired hydrolysis of sucrose and starches, decreased gluconeogenesis, and the regulation of lipid metabolism.
Berberine HCl (Bereris aristata)
Berberine is a chemical found in several plants including European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, phellodendron, and tree turmeric. Berberineis most commonly taken by mouth for diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
• Helps control Type 2 diabetes — Berberine may be useful for the management Type 2 diabetes, as it helps improve sensitivity, reduce the production of glucose in the liver, promote healthy lipid metabolism and stimulate the absorption of glucose in the cells.
• Aids in weight loss — Studies show that berberine may help reduce body weight by improving the function of fat-regulating hormones like leptin. It also helps inhibit the growth of fat cells and improve the activity of brown fat, which converts fats into energy.
Tumeric
(Curcuma Longa L.)
Turmeric is a member of the ginger family. It is commonly used as a spice, but it is also known for its medicinal purposes
has been used for the treatment of diabetes in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine.
Researchers also found that curcumin may have a role in diabetes prevention. ... Other research suggests thatturmeric extract could help stabilize blood sugar levels and make diabetes more manageable. This extract can be found in over-the-counter supplements.
Recent research has provided the scientific basis for “traditional” curcumin and confirmed the important role of curcumin in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its associated disorders. Curcumin could favorably affect most of the leading aspects of diabetes, including resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and islet apoptosis and necrosis.
Cinnamon (cinnamonium Casia)
Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum.
Cinnamon is the brown bark of the cinnamon tree, which when dried, rolls into a tubular form known as a quill. It is available in either its whole quill form (cinnamon sticks) or as ground powder. Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known.
In One study esearchers found that cinnamon cut cholesterol by about 18% and blood sugar levels by 24%.
They recently completed a human study with associates in Pakistan using cinnamon. Their study included 60 Pakistani volunteers (30 men and 30 women ranging in age from 44 to 58 years) with type 2 diabetes, who were not taking sugar. Subjects were divided into six groups. For 40 days, groups 1, 2 and 3 were given 1, 3 or 6 grams of cinnamon per day, while groups 4, 5 and 6 received placebo capsules.
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Naturally occurring lipoic acid is always covalently bound and unfortunately not readily available from dietary sources
Alpha-lipoic acid has gained a lot of attention in recent years.It’s an organic compound that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. Your body produces alpha-lipoic acid naturally, but it’s also found in a variety of foods and as a dietary supplement.
ALA may increase sugar sensitivity and help reduce blood sugar and lipids,
daily for two weeks in 22 patients, finding this therapy led to improvements in fasting and average glucose, sugar sensitivity, plus beneficial effects on LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol.
Additionally, LA can also recharge other antioxidants that have been used up. In the body, LA helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione. And, because LA functions much like a B-vitamin, it also helps convert food into energy.
Vanadium
(Vanadyl Sulfate)
The best food sources of vanadium are mushrooms, shellfish, black pepper, parsley, dill weed, beer, wine, grain and grain products,
Demonstrated in 1985 that vanadium administered in the drinking water to streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats restored elevated blood glucose to normal. Subsequent studies have shown that vanadyl sulfate can lower elevated blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides in a variety of diabetic models including the STZ diabetic rat, the Zucker fatty rat and the Zucker diabetic fatty rat.
Long-term studies of up to one year did not show toxicity in control or STZ rats administered vanadyl sulfate in doses that lowered elevated blood glucose. In the BB diabetic rat, a model of sugar-dependent diabetes, vanadyl sulfate lowered requirement by up to 75%.
Chromium Polynicotinate
Chromium boosts the effectiveness, which helps keep your blood sugar at optimal levels. It also participates in the metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein.
Chromium is an important factor for enhancing glucose activity. Studies show that people with type 2 diabetes have lower blood levels of chromium than those without the disease.
Chromium, specifically, has been shown to reduce glucose resistance and to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
