Ingredients explained
Gymnema sylvestre extract (leaf) standardised to 25% gymnemic acids
Gymnemic acids may bind to sweet taste receptors and interact with intestinal glucose transporters, which may reduce sweet taste perception and slow carbohydrate absorption.
Caution: May affect normal blood sugar responses; monitor how you feel, especially if you manage carbohydrate intake or use products that influence glucose.
Gymnema sylvestre powder (stem)
Provides a broader spectrum of gymnema constituents that may support digestive handling of carbohydrates and general metabolic balance.
Caution: Herbal powders can occasionally cause mild digestive discomfort; take with water and assess tolerance.
How they work together
The standardised leaf extract delivers a defined amount of gymnemic acids for consistent effects on sweet taste and carbohydrate handling, while the stem powder adds complementary phytonutrients that may broaden metabolic and digestive support.
