Bitter Melon, Ceylon Cinnamon & Banaba, Explained
Wild Bitter Melon Extract, Ceylon Cinnamon Bark and Banaba Leaf Extract are three traditional botanicals rounding out Sweetide's formula.
Understanding what each is traditionally and scientifically connected to helps complete the picture beyond the formula's two best-known ingredients.
Wild Bitter Melon Extract
Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) contains compounds including charantin and polypeptide-p, studied in connection with glucose transport and cellular uptake. This research is available on PubMed.
Ceylon Cinnamon Bark
Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes called 'true cinnamon', differs from the more common cassia variety in its lower coumarin content, a compound linked to liver concerns at high intake. Research on cinnamon and glucose processing is indexed on PubMed.
Banaba Leaf Extract
Banaba Leaf is standardised for corosolic acid, a compound studied for its role in glucose clearance from the bloodstream into muscle tissue. Research is available on PubMed.
Applying this to Sweetide
Wild Bitter Melon, Ceylon Cinnamon and Banaba Leaf are three of the six ingredients in Sweetide's formula, each a reasonable, traditionally-grounded choice for general blood-sugar wellness support.
