Phytochemicals, such as triterpenoid saponins (gymnemic acid and gymnema saponins) and polypeptide, gurmarin, are the main active constituents of gymnema.

  • Impacts Glucose Absorption & Insulin Release

    Gymnema affects both the absorption of glucose and the release of insulin to benefit glucose balance.​

Mechanism of Actions

  • Inhibits of glucose absorption from intestine by binding to Na+/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) in intestine​
  • Restores functional mass of pancreatic β cells and protects β cells against oxidative damage ​
  • Stimulates glucose-induced insulin secretion by recruiting GLUT2 signaling​
  • Endorses fatty acid oxidation and reciprocates insulin resistance in the liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue through PPAR-δ activation​
