Salacia Reticulata Extract with Hypoglycemic Action

Salacia is an herb that is native to India and Sri Lanka. The root and stem are used to make medicine.

Salacia has a long history of use as a treatment for diabetes in Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine. Mugs made from salacia wood are used by people with diabetes to drink water.

In addition to treating diabetes, salacia is used for treating gonorrhea, asthma, itchiness, joint pain (rheumatism), obesity, thirst, and menstrual problems.
The extracts of Salacia reticulata (Salacia extract), a plant that has been used for the treatment of early diabetes, rheumatism and gonorrhea in Ayurveda, have been shown to have an anti-obesity effect and suppress hyperglycemia.
Diabetes. Early research suggests that consuming salacia tea with each meal might lower hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels in people with type 2 diabetes. HbA1C is a measure of blood sugar control. A single dose of salacia, in combination with a meal, also seems to reduce after-meal insulin levels and reduce after-meal blood sugar in healthy volunteers and in people with type 2 diabetes. These reductions indicate better blood sugar control. Other early research suggests that taking salacia with food for 6 weeks seems to reduce pre-meal blood sugar and HbA1C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. "We are making the research and development on this product as diabetes becomes the hot topic for human who consumes high-calories and fat food very much in daily life. We produce this extract powder to control the blood pressure and to see how effective it is", said by Simon Chen, CEO of Hefei Dielegance Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
