Product Introduction
What is Gymnemic Acid Powder?
Gymnemic acid powder is a type of active ingredient extracted from the gymnema of the Apocynaceae family. It has significant effects on lowering blood sugar, regulating sugar metabolism and has potential medicinal value. It can block the taste buds' perception of sweetness, reduce the desire for sweets and thus help control sugar intake. Therefore, it can be used as an auxiliary treatment for diabetes and its complications, or in the production of low-sugar or sugar-free foods in the food industry.

Benefits of Gymnemic Acid Powder
Inhibit sugar absorption: Gymnemic acid powder can bind to glycosidase on the brush border of the small intestine, reduce the decomposition and absorption of carbohydrates, and reduce postprandial blood sugar.
Promote insulin secretion: By stimulating pancreatic β cells, increase insulin release and improve insulin resistance.
Regenerate pancreatic islet cells: Animal experiments have shown that gymnyl acid may promote pancreatic islet cell regeneration and enhance insulin synthesis capacity.
Regulate sugar metabolism: Inhibit liver gluconeogenesis, reduce glucose production, and enhance muscle and adipose tissue's glucose uptake and utilization.
Inhibit sweet taste perception: Gymnemic acid can temporarily block the taste buds' perception of sweetness, reduce the desire for sweets, and assist in controlling sugar intake.
