Hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon
According to research, bitter melon contains three active ingredients, including charantin, polypeptide-p, and vicine. These active ingredients are capable of effectively managing blood sugar levels. They help cells absorb sugar molecules as well as increase insulin secretion.
Diabetes can also be controlled naturally thanks to charantin, which has a hypoglycemic effect. Charantin in bitter melon has a chemical structure similar to insulin, so it has a direct hypoglycemic effect. Polypeptide-p, also known as p-insulin, is very similar to insulin and has been shown to have a positive effect on diabetes. In addition, bitter melon extract also inhibits certain enzymes, thereby preventing an increase in blood sugar after meals.
