A traditional botanical used to help decrease sugar and carbohydrate absorption in the digestive tract.
Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) is a tropical vine fruit with a long history of traditional use in Asian and Ayurvedic medicine.
It supports GL-Defend's sugar-absorption layer, helping decrease absorption of sugars and carbohydrates in the digestive tract.
Research has explored Bitter Melon's relationship to blood glucose levels, with compounds that may mimic some effects of insulin.
This describes general research on Bitter Melon itself, not the finished GL-Defend product, which hasn't been the subject of its own clinical trial. See the full ingredients list or the formula overview for more.
