Bitter Gourd Karela Powder for Diabetics, 100 gms

Description

Bitter Gourd or Bitter Melon (Karela) powder lowers dietary carbohydrate digestion - Karela powder reduces the amount of glucose that is released into the blood by inhibiting the enzymes that break down disaccharides to two monosaccharides (e.g. glucose).

Karela can influence the transport channels for glucose, which also reduces glucose transport into the blood. This effect is important for the treatment of both Type I and Type II diabetic patients and helps to prevent high blood sugar levels after meals.
