Product Description

Bitter Melon can stimulate the release of insulin and block the formation of glucose in the bloodstream, which may be helpful for diabetes, psoriasis, cancer and infections like HIV. Bitter Melon extract, also called Momordica or Karela, helps regulate blood sugar levels and keeps body functions associated with sugar regulation and cravings operating normally. It contains Gurmarin, a polypeptide which has been shown in experimental studies to achieve a positive sugar regulating effect by suppressing the neural response to sweet taste stimuli.

Bitter Melon is a cucumber-shaped, green vegetable believed to have a high iron content. Bitter Melon has two proteins which are thought to repress HIV, but its effectiveness in humans for the treatment of AIDS has not been substantiated by clinical evidence. Preliminary research also suggests that bitter melon, consumed in any liquid or solid form, may enhance Type 2 diabetics' ability to control blood sugar.

Three active constituents in bitter melon know as steroidal saponins (charantin, insulin-like peptides, and alkaloids) are believed to be responsible for the blood-sugar lowering actions that potentially benefit individuals with diabetes mellitus.

The leaves and fruit of bitter melon have been used to season soups and to make teas and beer.
