Project Profile- Gymnema sylvestre is an herb native to the tropical forests of southern
and central India.
- Chewing the leaves suppresses the sensation of sweet. This effect is
attributed to the presence of the eponymously named gymnemic acids.
- G. sylvestre has been used in
traditional medicine as a treatment for diabetes for nearly two millennia,
but there is insufficient scientific evidence to draw definitive conclusions
about its efficacy.
- It is used in folk, ayurvedic and homeopathic systems of medicine
because of believed potent antidiabetic effect.
- Common names include miracle fruit, gymnema, cowplant, Australian
cowplant, gurmari, gurmarbooti, gurmar, periploca of the woods, and
meshasringa.
- Gymnema reduces the taste of sugar when it is placed in the mouth.
- From extract of the leaves were isolated glycosides known as gymnemic
acids, which exhibit
anti-sweet activity. This effect lasts up to about 2 hours. Some postulate
that the herb may reduce cravings for sugar by blocking sugar receptors in
the tongue.
- This effect was observed in isolated rat neurons. The active ingredients
are thought to be the family of compounds related to gymnemic acid: purified
gymnemic acids are widely used as experimental reagents in taste
physiology and have also an anti-diabetic effect in animal models, reduce
intestinal transport of maltose in rats when combined with acarbose, and
reduce absorption of free oleic acid in rats.
- Despite the part used being the leaf, one common name of this species is
miracle fruit, a name shared by two other species: Synsepalum dulcificum and
Thaumatococcus daniellii. Both species are used to alter the perceived
sweetness of foods.
- In English the species is also known as gymnema, cowplant, and
Australian cowplant.
- This species also goes under many other names such as; Gurmari,
Gurmarbooti, Gurmar,
periploca of the woods and Meshasringa. The Hindi word Gur-mar (Madhunaashini
in Sanskrit, Chakkarakolli in Malayalam,Podapatri in Telugu), literally
means sugar destroyer. Meshasringa (Sanskrit) translates as "ram's horn", a
name given to the plant from the shape of its fruits.
- Gymnema derives from the Greek words "gymnos" (γυμνὀς)
and "nēma" (νῆμα) meaning "naked" and "thread" respectively, the species
epitheton sylvestre means "of the forest" in Latin.
- Gymnema Sylvestre leaf has been shown effective for weight loss because
of it’s ability to curb sweet cravings and the effect it has on blocking
sugar absorption.
