The Bitter Melon Plant (Momordica Charantia in Latin) contains at least 3 different groups of compounds that exhibit clinically proven hypoglycaemic (low blood sugar) activity. The herb also calms the nervous system and has a mild anti-inflammatory effect. Its use does not have the negative side effects typical of traditional diabetes medicines.
A study by D. James (Director of the Overweight and Diabetes Program at the Garvan Medical Institute in Sydney / Australia) claims that Bitter Melon contains 4 bioactive components that activate the AMPK protein that regulates energy metabolism and increases the level of glucose. These processes in people suffering from diabetes are "functionally upset".
Bitter melon contains another important ingredient - lectin, which has insulin-like action due to its 2 interconnected insulin receptors. This substance reduces the concentration of glucose in the blood stream, affecting the peripheral tissues, and like insulin suppresses appetite. Leptin is mainly due to the hypoglycemic effect that Bitter Melon exerts on the human body. The plant is an extremely effective way to deal with the symptoms in early stages of diabetes.
Momordica Charantia also has another beneficial for the human body effect, namely, it increases insulin levels, enhances its sensitivity and restores damaged beta cells. The plant prevents absorption of glucose by inhibiting the hydrolase enzymes responsible for decomposing complex carbohydrate structures to simpler monosaccharides. It also inhibits the activity of lactose and maltose in the gastrointestinal tract.
Bitter melon stimulates the synthesis of two important hormones - adiponectin and thyroid hormone. The serum level of the first regulates insulin sensitivity. It is low in people with diabetes who are overweight. Adiponectin also affects lipid metabolism. When its blood serum levels are low, it leads to an increase in atherogenic small dense LDL particles and triglycerides.
Action: The fruits of the Bitter Melon plant support the natural processes of maintaining levels of blood sugar and lipids in the blood. The dietary supplement has a beneficial effect on the natural metabolic processes of waste products.
