Introduction
Description
Gymnema sylvestre
is a woody, climbing plant,
native to India. The leaves of this plant have been
used in India for over 2000 years to treat madhu
meha, or “honey urine.�Chewing the leaves destroys
the ability to discriminate the “sweet�taste, giving
it its common name, gurmar, or “sugar destroyer.�
Constituents
Plant constituents include two resins (one soluble
in alcohol), gymnemic acids, saponins, stigmasterol,
quercitol, and the amino acid derivatives betaine,
choline and trimethylamine.
Function
Gymnema sylvestre
is a stomachic, diuretic, refrigerant, astringent, and tonic.
It has been found
to increase urine output and reduce hyperglycemia in both animal and human studies.
Gymnema’s antidiabetic activity appears to be due to a combination of mechanisms. Two ani-
mal studies on beryllium nitrate- and streptozotocin-diabetic rats found Gymnema extracts doubled the
number of insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreas and returned blood sugars to almost normal.
Gymnema increases the activity of enzymes responsible for glucose uptake and utilization,
and inhib-its peripheral utilization of glucose by somatotrophin and corticotrophin.
Plant extracts have also been
found to inhibit epinephrine-induced hyperglycemia. Ms Mona Yang
