Olivaro@:- Gymnema leaf extract comes from Gymnema sylvestre, a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic practices. Certain compounds in its leaves have attracted scientific interest because of their effects on sweet-taste perception and possible glucose-related activity. Although preliminary research has explored gymnema supplements, the available evidence is not strong enough to establish that they reliably manage diabetes. People taking glucose-lowering medication should seek medical advice before using products containing gymnema because of the possibility of changes in blood glucose.
