Gymnema Extract Powder

What is Gymnema Extract?

Gymnema Extract Powder is extracted from the dried stems and leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, a plant of the Asclepiadaceae family. Its extract is mainly composed of total triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, polysaccharides and other components. Total saponins are the active ingredients, which are composed of a variety of saponin compounds, among which gymnemic acid has the highest content. It has the effects of reducing swelling and relieving pain, resisting dental caries and inhibiting obesity. In general, it is a natural plant extract with the effects of lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids and anti-inflammatory effects, and is used to assist the treatment of diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. It has broad application prospects in the fields of medicines, functional foods and health products.

Active Ingredients

Saponins: mainly include gymnemic acid, which is used to repair and regenerate pancreatic beta cells, increase insulin secretion, and lower blood sugar.

Sterols: promote glucose transport, accelerate the body's absorption and utilization of glucose, and reduce the desire for sweets.

Other ingredients: including peptides, pectin, flavonoids, alkaloids, and trace elements such as copper.

Pharmacological Effects

Immunomodulation

It has good immunomodulatory effect on human neutrophils.

Antioxidant and radiation protection

It can inhibit DPPH free radicals and remove superoxide and hydrogen peroxide groups to play an antioxidant role. The effective antioxidant ingredients of Gymnema sylvestre may be related to compounds such as flavonoids, phenols, saponins and triterpenes in Gymnema sylvestre.

Antibacterial and anti-disease

It has an inhibitory effect on microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. It was found that natural saponins and purified saponins of different concentrations have obvious antibacterial effects.

Anti-caries

It can significantly inhibit the activity of glucosyltransferase, block the synthesis of extracellular water-insoluble glucan of Streptococcus mutans, inhibit the formation of dental plaque, and make cariogenic bacteria lose the cariogenic environment, thereby achieving an anti-caries effect.

Lipid-lowering and anti-atherosclerosis

Gymnema Extract Powder can reduce the levels of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in rats with hyperlipidemia, and restore the low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and anti-atherosclerosis index in rats with hyperlipidemia.

Inhibit sweet taste response

Gymnema may inhibit sweet taste response by blocking the sweet taste receptors on the surface of taste cells. Gymnema acid is the main component of sweet taste inhibition, and the presence of phthalide plays an important role in inhibiting sweet taste response.

Weight loss

Because GA can reduce the body's absorption of sugar in addition to reducing the desire for sweets. GA reduces the desire for sweets by reducing the sweetness of food, but does not make it completely sweet, and this effect can last for 1-2 hours. Inhibiting the absorption of sugar is to control the absorption of sugar molecules by the intestine during digestion, which can effectively reduce sugar metabolism, thereby changing the absorption of sugar and achieving the effect of changing blood sugar content.

Hypoglycemic

It has a mild effect on normal blood sugar, but when used in combination with glucose or sucrose, it can significantly inhibit the increase in blood sugar levels and significantly reduce the secretion of plasma insulin.

Application

Functional food and health products

In the field of food and health products, it is used as an additive to develop products that help control blood sugar, reduce blood lipids and inhibit obesity.

Functional beverages

It can be used to make functional beverages to help regulate metabolism in the body and reduce the sweetness. It is suitable for diabetics and consumers who pursue a healthy diet.

Cosmetics and skin care products

It is also increasingly used in cosmetics and skin care products, mainly used to develop products that can repair damaged skin and moisturize.

Oral care
