Banaba, also known as Crepe Myrtle, Queen's Flower and Pride of India, is a medicinal plant that grows in India, Southeast Asia and the Philippines. Banaba Leaf extract contains a compound known as corosolic acid, that has been reported to safely lower blood sugar levels. By keeping blood sugar and insulin levels in check, Banaba helps control food craving, which is extremely important to diabetics!
In humans with Type 2 diabetes, Banaba extract, taken for 4-8 weeks, has been shown to be effective in reducing blood sugar (5% - 30% reduction) and maintaining tighter control of blood sugar fluctuations. one study, subjects who took the supplement over a twenty-two-week period had a 30% drop in blood sugar levels. They also averaged a weight loss of 3.2 pounds per month without changing their diet. For some people, fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin are related to appetite, hunger and various food cravings - particularly craving for carbohydrates ( eg. bread and sweets). By keeping blood sugar and insulin levels in check, Banaba helps people to lose weight safely and quickly.
