Gymnema, often called the “sugar destroyer”, is a climbing woody shrub native to the tropical forests of India, Africa and Australia. Belonging to the Apocynaceae family, this plant is highly prized for its ability to reduce sugar cravings and support blood sugar levels. Used as a nutraceutical for glucose management, Gymnema has applications in dietary supplements for weight management and is of interest to research for its potential therapeutic benefits in the management of diabetes and obesity.
