Sugar BanSource Naturals Sugar Ban, 75 Tablets

A climbing vine with a long history

Gymnema sylvestre is a vine-like plant whose roots and leaves have been used in India for thousands of years. Its Hindi name, gurmar, means destroyer of sugar, because chewing the herb makes sweet foods taste less sweet. The manufacturer attributes this to compounds called gymnemic acids.

What else is in the tablet

Source Naturals adds pullulan, which it describes as an extract of Zizyphus jujuba that also reduces the perception of sweet taste, together with grapefruit pectin and the mineral chromium. The tablets are held together with dibasic calcium phosphate, stearic acid, silica, modified cellulose gum and magnesium stearate.

How to use

Take 1 to 3 tablets with water, depending on how much sugar you eat, 15 minutes before each meal.
