Product description:Gymnemic Acid has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels when used for an extended period of time. Additionally, Gymnema sylvestre extract reduces the taste of sugar when it is placed in the mouth, thus some use it to fight sugar cravings. From extract of the leaves were isolated glycosides known as Gymnemic acids, which exhibit anti-sweet activity. This effect, however, is short-lived, lasting a mere fifteen minutes.
