Gymnema Leaf
Gymnema sylvestre
A traditional Ayurvedic herb, Gymnema is nicknamed the “sugar destroyer” because it tempers sweet taste perception and supports glucose handling. Human studies suggest improvements in fasting glucose, HbA1c, and lipids, with mechanisms including delayed intestinal sugar absorption and support for insulin function.
Why We Use it
Gymnema directly addresses cravings and post-meal spikes — two pain points for our audience. It complements berberine and inositols by acting at the taste and gut levels, helping reduce the desire for sweets while supporting glucose control.
