BANABA

Benefits of Banaba Leaves

Diabetes management

When someone takes banaba, they have a lower chance of developing diabetes. People who already have diabetes have a lower possibility of their diabetes progressing. Banaba is used to help lower blood sugar, help improves insulin resistance, and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.

They may also see improvements in their long term prognosis, as well as less of a need for insulin medications.

The antidiabetic activity of a Banaba extract was examined in a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Ten type 2 diabetic patients were given 32 mg or 48 mg of the product daily for 2 weeks. The results showed a 30% decrease in blood glucose levels was reported after the 2 weeks.

Antioxidant activity

Antioxidants are needed to combat the harmful effects of oxidative stress. You get these free-radical fighters from eating natural organic foods and supplements that can be broken down easily by the body. Banaba leave are one such source rich in antioxidants. Due to their high content of flavonoids, querecetin and ellagic acids, Banaba leaves can fight free radical damage.

In fact, one 15-day study in rats found that 150 mg per kg of body weight of banaba leaf extract neutralized free radicals and other reactive species while regulating levels of antioxidant enzymes.

Reduce risk of heart disease

High blood cholesterol is a key risk factor for heart disease. Banaba is antihyperlipidemic, meaning it helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Animal and human studies suggest that corosolic acid and PGG in banaba leaves may help lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides levels 

It is used to help lower total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (also known as LDL-C, or “bad cholesterol”), and non-high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (also known as non-HDL-C). In a 10-week study in 40 adults with impaired fasting glucose found that a combination of banaba leaf and turmeric extracts reduced triglyceride levels by 35% and increased HDL (good) cholesterol levels by 14%.

Promote weights loss

Banaba is also used in those who are overweight or obese to help with weight loss. By the same mechanism, it can also help with metabolic syndrome. One scientific research study found that participants taking a banaba supplement lost an average of 2.7 pounds, compared to a gain of 3.4 pounds in the placebo group.

Further health benefits of banaba

* Inflammation: People taking banaba have also been known to have lower levels of high sensitivity C reactive protein ( also known as hs CRP for short).

High sensitivity C reactive protein is an indication of how much inflammation is present in the body. Therefore, people on banaba should expect to have less inflammation throughout the body.

* Anticancer properties: It can be used as an anticancer agent in various types of cancer, including liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

* Anti-fungal: Since banaba has anti-fungal and antiviral properties, it is also used in fungal and viral infections. Banaba is also helpful for any acute (short-term) inflammation, which usually involves pain, redness, heat, and swelling.Fungal infections, such as vaginal yeast infections and athlete’s foot, may clear up as a result of banaba supplementation. Viral infections, such as the flu or cold sores, can also be helped.

* Liver damage: Banaba has also been known to protect the liver against alcohol-induced damage. You will also gain protection against alcoholic liver disease. Studies have found that people taking banaba have lower transaminase levels (liver enzymes) as well as less fat in their liver.

They also have lower levels of 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances or TBARS for short. These are markers that demonstrate when there has been an oxidative injury to the liver. Banaba appears to help improve the overall health of the liver.

* HIV: For those taking banaba for an HIV infection, they can expect to see a lower viral load and inhibition of the infection itself.
