Fenugreek Seed |
Fenugreek seeds can improve glucose metabolism and
can be useful in the management of diabetes. [1] |

Bitter Gourd Fruit |
Bitter gourd fruit can improve glucose tolerance
and lower both fasting blood sugar levels and blood sugar levels after a
glucose challenge. [2, 3, 4] |

|
Gymnema Leaf |
Gymnema leaf may cause a drop in glucose levels in Type 2 diabetes and may enhance endogenous
insulin, possibly by regeneration/revitalization of the residual beta cells
in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. [5, 6] |
