Its native Hindi name ‘gurmar’ means ‘sugar destroyer’ on account of its ability to abolish the taste of sugar. When applied to the tongue gymnema remarkably anaesthetises the sweet taste buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eActions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHypoglycaemic, antidiabetic, appetite suppressant, hypolipidemic, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, larvicidal, diuretic, antiallergic, antirheumatic, digestive stimulant, laxative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIndications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•    Type 1 and 2 diabetes\u003cbr\u003e•    Hyperglycaemia\u003cbr\u003e•    Insulin resistance\u003cbr\u003e•    Polycystic ovary syndrome\u003cbr\u003e•    Reduction of sweet cravings and appetite\u003cbr\u003e•    Weight loss\u003cbr\u003e•    Obesity including when associated with low thyroid function\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnergetics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitter, cooling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUse in Pregnancy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of gymnema in pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContraindications \u0026amp; Cautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrug Interactions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse cautiously in diabetic patients using antidiabetic and insulin medications due to possible potentiation of effects. Serum glucose levels should be monitored and doses of concomitant hypoglycaemic drugs may require adjustment under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Concomitant use of gymnema with lipid-lowering agents may potentiate their effects. In practice these interactions may be useful as a reduction in the drug dose could theoretically be achieved under professional supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDietary Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegan friendly.
