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 .
