***Gymnema Sylvestra as a Glucose Disposal Agent (GDA)***
Gymnema has been a go to glucose disposal agent for myself for some time, especially after seeing how it kept my blood glucose lower than many other GDAs on the market. Gymnema works by slowing the transport of glucose from the intestines into the blood stream, there by lowering blood sugar and lowering hemoglobin A1c. Gymnema also aids in repairing and regenerating beta cells in the pancreas (which produce insulin) and in the reduction of glycosolated plasma protein levels.
Overall Gymnema is within my top favorite 3 glucose disposal agents mainly because of how my body metabolizes and utilizes this supplement. I've seen clients have almost no response and others only a moderate response. The key is to experiment with every GDA ingredient in bulk to see which effects you the best and proceed accordingly.
