Gymnema Sylvestre And Appetite: The Traditional Angle
Gymnema Sylvestre has a centuries-long history in Ayurvedic medicine, traditionally associated with reducing perceived sweetness and curbing sugar cravings.
Its nickname translates roughly as 'sugar destroyer.'
The traditional use
Chewed leaves are traditionally described as temporarily blunting sweetness perception. See the Healthline overview.
Modern research
Studies have examined blood sugar regulation and appetite measures, with some positive findings, though the research base is smaller than for chromium.
Applying this to SodaFit
Gymnema Sylvestre pairs with African Mango in SodaFit's formula as the two ingredients most tied to appetite control.
