Plant Introduction
Banaba leaf is a traditional Asian herbal medicine remedy for diabetes. In recent times it has garnered international attention for its ability to help lower blood sugar without adverse side effects. Modern science continues to build the case for banaba as an effective way to help manage blood sugar, including offsetting some of the problems like obesity and elevated cholesterol that often occur simultaneously as metabolism falters.
A current review on the topic explains the results of numerous human, animal, and cell studies. The active components in banaba leaf are corosolic acid and an ellagitannin called lagerstroemin. The research has documented multiple mechanisms by which banaba helps promote normal blood sugar metabolism.
Human studies show that it can help lower blood sugar within 60 minutes by helping the transport of sugar into cells. It has been shown to help the glucose transporter proteins, especially GLUT4, which is active in fat cells and muscle cells. Improving metabolism of insulin within fat cells helps to correct leptin problems and food cravings that are typical in overweight individuals with elevated blood sugar. The typical human response is a 10-15% decrease in blood sugar within two hours of ingestion. The researchers conclude that banaba extracts standardized to corosolic acid “decrease fasting as well as postprandial blood glucose levels in humans.”
Animal studies have explored diverse mechanisms for the blood sugar benefits, also noting assistance for issues such as elevated cholesterol and triglycerides as well as weight loss benefit. Summarizing the animal science the researchers state, “In these studies, corosolic acid has also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, increase cellular uptake of glucose, decrease serum triglycerides and cholesterol, facilitate weight loss, and improve oxidative stress markers without production of adverse or toxic effects.”
Numerous cell studies also document benefits for blood sugar, improved antioxidant function, and decreased inflammation. Interestingly, bone building stimulation of osteoblasts also occurs from banaba. And it is now clear that better bone health is associated with better blood sugar metabolism.
When a person improves their quality of food intake, eats in harmony with the hormone leptin, and consistently exercises they are creating the opportunity for an improvement in blood sugar metabolism. Various nutrients, such as banaba, can also help guide struggling blood sugar metabolism back in the right direction.
Banaba extract is a medicinal plant that grows in India , Southeast Asia and the Philippiness. Traditional uses include brewing tea from the leaves as a treatment for diabetes and hyperglycemia ( elevated blood sugar).
Banaba ( Lagestroemia Speciosa ) is a medicinal plant that grows in India , Southeast Asia and the Philippiness . Traditional uses include brewing tea from the leaves as a treatment for diabetes and hyperglycemia ( elevated blood sugar). The hypoglycemic ( blood sugar lowering) effect of banaba extract is similar to that of insulin -which induces glucose transport from the blood into body cells .
Banaba Extract contains Corosolic Acid , a triterpinoid compound known to stimulate glucose transport across cell membranes . Due to this, Banaba Extract helps to regulate blood sugar and insulin levels in the blood . Several studies have shown that oral administration of Corosolic Acid significantly reduces blood glucose levels in Type II Diabetes , Similar to that of Insulin. Corosolic Acid has strong antioxidant properties that help to prevent damage by free radicals .
Functions:
1> Controlling blood sugar
Banaba has been used for years in the Philippines and other parts of Asia as a method of controlling blood sugar. It may stimulate the transport of glucose into the cells resulting in lower blood sugar levels.
Numerous clinical studies, on both humans and animals, have shown banaba leaf extract's ability to lower blood sugar and insulin levels. One study at the Southeastern Institute of Biomedical Research, using a 1 percent corosolic acid extract of banaba leaf, consistently reduced blood glucose significantly in people with type-II diabetes.
2> Weight losing
Banaba leaf extract is help control hunger, but it doesn’t work like a prescription appetite suppressant. Banaba leaf will not leave the dieter feeling no hunger at all, but it may give the dieter the power to control what they eat so they lose more weight.
An animal study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science showed banaba leaf extract to not only regulate glucose, but also induce weight loss. Experts believe this is because the regulation of insulin and blood sugar levels helps control cravings for sweets and other simple carbohydrates, allowing the person to eat less (and healthier) with less difficulty.
3> Other
The extract of the Banaba is good for helping to relieve urinary tract infections. The bush has also been linked to a reduction of cholesterol and the lowering of blood sugar in diabetes patients. There has been evidence that indicates that regular consumption of the tea can alleviate kidney stones and help reduce the chance of gallbladder stones.
