Can Help Manage Diabetes

Long thought to aid with diabetic management, research conducted in Nigeria just recently confirmed this. It was discovered that rats that consumed soursop had blood sugar levels that were substantially lower than rodents who did not. This activity is most likely caused by the inhibition of enzymes that aid in the breakdown of complex carbs into glucose or prevent their absorption.

Additionally, it was discovered that using the leaves reduced the impact of oxidative damage on the liver, which was increased by diabetes. However, soursop may also help the pancreas create new insulin-producing cells, which might serve as a backup in the event that these cells cease to function.
