Gymnema sylvestre is a member of the Asclepiadaceae family. Gymnema came to be known as gurmar or the "destroyer of sugar" because Ayurvedic physicians observed that chewing a few leaves suppressed the taste of sugar. It has been used in India for the treatment of diabetes for over 2,000 years.
The medicinally active parts of the plant are the leaves and roots, which include gymnemic acids, saponins, stigmasterol, quercitol, and the amino acid derivatives betaine, choline, and trimethylamine. Gymnemic acid (GA) is a naturally occurring herbal ingredient, which research shows that improves glucose metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus.
