References and Research Info

Also known as Bitter Melon, this is an herb that has traditionally been used by Ayurvedic (Indian) healers to treat Type II, or adult-onset, diabetes. Numerous studies have shown that it can normalize elevated blood sugar levels. Bitter Melon contains an insulin-like polypeptide, polypeptide P or p-insulin (the p is for plant). In one study, glucose tolerance improved in 73 percent of Type II diabetics. In another study, the extract of Bitter Melon produced a 17 percent reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (an indicator of average blood sugar levels over time) after 7 weeks of use.
