Gymnema sylvestre: Sugar Destroyer & Sweetness Blocker? (Part 2) - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

This is part 2 in a 2-part series on Gymnema sylvestre. This herb has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for glucose control. It seems to block sugar and sweet receptors on the tongue, in the gut, and maybe even in the bloodstream, suggesting an application for weight loss and diabetes. We go into more of the biochemistry and pharmacology of the supplement and its active chemicals.
