Could an Herbal Remedy for Diabetes Outperform Insulin?
Introduction
A recent study has sparked interest by suggesting that a traditional Indian herb, Salacia oblonga, might effectively lower blood sugar and insulin levels, potentially rivaling modern prescription drugs.Study Insights
Involving 39 healthy adults, the study observed that extracts of Salacia oblonga reduced insulin and blood glucose levels by up to 29% and 23%, respectively. These reductions were noted with the highest administered dose of 1,000 mg.Steve Hertzler, assistant professor of nutrition at Ohio State University and co-author of the study, remarked, "These reductions are comparable to those achieved with prescription medications for diabetes."
How Salacia Oblonga Works
Native to India and Sri Lanka, Salacia oblonga may bind to intestinal enzymes responsible for converting carbohydrates into glucose. By inhibiting these enzymes, less glucose enters the bloodstream, reducing the insulin required.Lower blood glucose levels can mitigate the risk of complications related to diabetes, such as kidney disease and nerve damage. Hertzler highlighted that poor compliance with diabetes medications often diminishes their effectiveness. An herbal solution might offer a more appealing alternative for some individuals.
Future Research
While initial results are promising, this study focused on healthy adults. Researchers aim to explore the herb's effects on diabetic patients to see if it can also reduce complications associated with the condition.Potential Side Effects
Participants did report some side effects, including intestinal gas. Researchers monitored hydrogen and methane levels in the breath and recorded participants' experiences with nausea, cramps, and gas.Availability and Ongoing Research
Though promising, Salacia oblonga is challenging to find in the U.S., although some online options exist. The study, supported by Ohio State University and Abbott Laboratories, was published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. It highlights the potential of this herb, suggesting further exploration could uncover additional home remedy treasures.Conclusion
Salacia oblonga shows potential as a natural alternative to traditional diabetes medications. Continued research could reveal its full benefits and further insights into its medicinal properties.For more on free home remedies, visit the link below.
