Ayur-Gymnema 250 mg - 60 Capsules - Douglas Laboratories

Support for healthy glucose metabolism

DESCRIPTION
Ayur-Gymnema, provided by Douglas Laboratories,
supplies 250 mg of standardized Gymnema sylvestre
in capsule form.

FUNCTIONS
Glucose metabolism that is associated with abnormally
high blood glucose can lead to high levels of glycation.
Glycation is the non-enzymatic attachment of sugars to
major molecules in the body, including proteins, lipids,
and nucleic acids. Glycation reactions generate
advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and
glycotoxin intermediates. AGEs cause abnormal and
destructive functioning of body proteins, lipids, and
nucleic acids. AGE-associated damage is suspected in
the pathogenesis of many diseases and age-related
deteriorations.
Gymnema sylvestre is an Ayurvedic botanical that may
assist in the normal regeneration and repair of healthy
pancreatic beta cells. Gymnema is also suspected of
reducing intestinal glucose absorption. Native to India,
this woody, climbing plant has been used
traditionally in India to treat madhu meha, or ¡§honey
urine.¡¨ Gymnemic acid, an active component of
Gynema sylvestre, has been identified in numerous
animal studies as having anti-hyperglycemic effects.
Human studies have indicated it may be useful in
healthy glucose metabolism.

INDICATIONS
Ayur-Gymnema may be a useful dietary adjunct for
individuals who wish to nutritionally support healthy
glucose metabolism.
