Piper lolot is a popular herb in traditional medicine, which has been studied to demonstrate its hypoglycemic effects.
Recent scientific studies have shown that betel leaves may be effective in supporting the treatment of diabetes, thanks to the chemical compounds found in the leaves such as alkaloids, flavonoids and essential oils, which are believed to have the ability to reduce blood sugar levels.
A study published in the journal Scientific Reports found that compounds in Piper lolot can improve insulin function, helping to enhance the body's ability to use glucose. In this study, Piper lolot extract was used in animal models and showed a significant reduction in blood sugar levels after a period of use. This proves that Piper lolot can aid in controlling diabetes, reducing insulin resistance and improving metabolism.
The World Health Organization also emphasizes the use of herbs such as Piper lolot in the treatment of diabetes. Accordingly, the research and application of herbs in modern medicine is a feasible direction, when many herbs have positive effects in regulating blood sugar levels without causing serious side effects.
However, although piper lolot has shown promise in supporting diabetes treatment, medical experts advise patients not to use piper lolot as an alternative to medication. The use of herbs should be done under the supervision of a physician to ensure safety and long-term effectiveness. Further studies on the dosage and mechanism of action of piper lolot for diabetes are still being conducted.
