Help Stabilize Blood Sugar Levels

In certain animal tests, soursop has been found to help control blood sugar levels. In one trial, two weeks of soursop extract injections were given to diabetic rats. Blood sugar levels were five times lower in the extract group than in the control group. According to a different study, giving soursop extract to diabetic rats decreased their blood sugar levels by up to 75%.

However, compared to what you could get through your food, the soursop extract used in these animal experiments is more concentrated. These results imply that soursop may be advantageous for diabetics when combined with a nutritious diet and an active lifestyle, albeit further human studies are required.
