Banaba LeafBanaba Leaf and Gymnema are popular supplement ingredients in products targeting blood sugar control and diabetes. Both herbs are quite effective in reducing elevated blood sugar levels - a hallmark of diabetes and a key factor for many people in controlling appetite. Banaba appears to lower blood sugar levels by increasing the uptake of glucose into cells, while gymnema seems to control blood sugar by slowing the absorption of sugar from the intestinal tract. Because blood sugar fluctuations can be closely related to hunger, energy levels and food cravings in many people, adequate control of blood sugar levels throughout the day may be quite effective in promoting weight loss and maintenance. |
