Charantin and Blood sugar management.:
Momordica charantia (bitter melon) is a proven hypoglycemic agent. One of the active principles responsible for this action is charantin, which is composed of a mixture of beta-sitosterol-beta-D-glucoside and 5,25 stigmadien-3-beta-ol glycoside. It is therefore important that the extract be standardized for both total bitter principles and charantin.
Momordica charantia is a potential herbal alternative for blood sugar management, particularly in non-insulin dependent diabetes. An extract standardized for all the active principles would have proven efficacy in this regard.
The standardized extract of Momordica charantia, contains bitter principles and charantin.
