May Contribute to Favorable Insulin Levels
Gymnema's ability to reduce blood sugar levels may be due to its function in insulin production and cell regeneration. Higher insulin levels indicate that sugar is being removed from your bloodstream at a quicker pace. When you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, your body either produces insufficient insulin or your cells grow less responsive to it over time. As a result, blood sugar levels remain continuously high.
Gymnema Sylvestre has been shown to increase insulin synthesis in the pancreas and promote the regeneration of insulin-producing islet cells. This can assist in lowering your blood sugar levels. Many conventional medications aid in increasing insulin secretion and sensitivity. Herbal medicines, on the other hand, are gaining traction in medication research. Surprisingly, the first anti-diabetic medicine, metformin, was a herbal concoction extracted from Galega officinalis.
