Product Description

What is Bitter Melon Extract/Powder ?

Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is a climbing vine found in tropical and subtropical areas that produces a green, deeply ridged or warty oblong fruit resembling a cucumber. The fruit, although quite bitter, can be eaten raw but more frequently is used in cooking or in preparing teas. Extracts of the fruit have also been used in traditional medicine for multiple conditions including constipation, dyspepsia, ulcer disease, cough, respiratory illnesses, gout, arthritis, skin disease and wounds. Claims have been made that bitter melon has antiviral effects which may be beneficial in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and that it has antineoplastic activities that may be effective for cancer. None of these purported effects, however, have been demonstrated in clinical trials in humans. Studies in animals as well as humans have shown that bitter melon extracts can lower blood sugar for which reason it has been marketed as a treatment of type 2 diabetes. The components of bitter melon responsible for the hypoglycemic effects are not known, but the fruit extracts contain alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, triterpenes, oils, steroids sterols, polysaccharides, resins and proteins, several of which have been shown to have effects on glucose metabolism in cell culture or animal models.
The exact mechanism of the hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon is not known. In placebo controlled clinical trials in patients with diabetes or glucose intolerance, bitter melon extracts have had only a modest effect on serum glucose levels and little or no effect on fasting plasma glucose or hemoglobin A1c levels. Bitter melon has not been approved for the treatment of diabetes or any other medical condition in the United States by the FDA. Nevertheless, bitter melon extracts are available over-the-counter as a dietary supplement in multiple forms including liquid, powders and tablets. The typical recommended dose is 500 to 1000 mg taken in two to three times daily. Bitter melon extracts are usually well tolerated, but side effects can include abdominal discomfort, heartburn, constipation or diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, headache and hypoglycemia. Rare but potentially severe adverse effects include severe hypoglycemia, coma and seizures. Bitter melon is a potential abortifacient and should not be used in pregnancy or in women of childbearing age not using effective contraception.

The benefits of Bitter Melon Extract/Powder

1. Bitter melon is especially rich in vitamin C, an important micronutrient involved in disease prevention, bone formation, and wound healing.
   It's also high in vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that promotes skin health and proper vision.
   It provides folate, which is essential for growth and development, as well as smaller amounts of potassium, zinc, and iron.
   Bitter melon is a good source of catechin, gallic acid, epicatechin, and chlorogenic acid, too - powerful antioxidant compounds that can help protect your cells against damage.
   Plus, it's low in calories yet high in fiber - fulfilling approximately 8% of your daily fiber needs in a single one-cup (94-gram) serving.
   
    

2.hanks to its potent medicinal properties, bitter melon has long been used by indigenous populations around the world to help treat diabetes-related conditions. In recent years, several studies confirmed the fruit's role in blood sugar control.
A 3-month study in 24 adults with diabetes showed that taking 2,000 mg of bitter melon daily decreased blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c, a test used to measure blood sugar control over three months.
Another study in 40 people with diabetes found that taking 2,000 mg per day of bitter melon for 4 weeks led to a modest reduction in blood sugar levels.
What's more, the supplement significantly decreased levels of fructosamine, a short term marker of long-term blood sugar control.
Bitter melon is thought to improve the way that sugar is used in your tissues and promote the secretion, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels.
However, research in humans is limited, and larger, more high-quality studies are needed to understand how bitter melon may impact blood sugar levels in the general population.

 

The application of Bitter Melon Extract/Powder

Research suggests that bitter melon contains certain compounds with cancer-fighting properties.
For example, one older test-tube study showed that bitter melon extract was effective at killing cancer cells of the stomach, colon, lung, and nasopharynx - the area located behind the nose at the back of your throat.
Another combined test-tube and animal study had similar findings, reporting that bitter melon extract was able to block the growth and spread of breast cancer cells while also promoting cancer cell death.
Keep in mind that these studies were performed using concentrated amounts of bitter melon extract on individual cells in a laboratory.
Further research is needed to determine how bitter melon may affect cancer growth and development in humans when consumed in the normal amounts found in food.
High levels of cholesterol can cause fatty plaque to build up in your arteries, forcing your heart to work harder to pump blood and increasing your risk of heart disease.Several animal studies found that bitter melon may decrease cholesterol levels to support overall heart health.
One human study found that administering water-soluble extract of bitter melon led to significant decreases in levels of LDL or "bad" cholesterol, compared to a placebo.
However, one study in mice noted that bitter melon didn't result in improvement of cholesterol levels or the development of atherosclerosis.
Additional studies are needed to determine whether these positive effects on humans eating the gourd as part of a balanced diet are consistent.
