Gymnema and metabolism
Gymnema is a supporting nutrient for metabolism support. Gymnema sylvestre is an Ayurvedic herb known as 'gurmar' (sugar destroyer) in Hindi. Its active compounds (gymnemic acids) have a molecular structure similar to glucose, allowing them to block sugar receptors on taste buds and in the intestines. Clinical research supports its role in reducing sugar cravings, supporting healthy blood sugar levels, and potentially supporting pancreatic beta-cell regeneration.
How much gymnema do you need
Research points to 200–800 mg as the effective range for gymnema. Most studies use 200–400 mg/day of standardized extract (25% gymnemic acids). Traditional Ayurvedic doses range higher. 400 mg/day is the most common supplemental dose. Lower doses may provide some benefit, but most studies showing clear results used this range.
