Momordica

Why You Need It

• Blood Sugar Control: Mimics insulin to help lower glucose levels naturally.
• Weight Management: Increases fat burning (lipolysis) and reduces fat storage.
• Antioxidant Power: Fights oxidative stress and inflammation.

Deep Dive

Momordica is rich in three distinct bioactive compounds: charantin (a hypoglycemic agent), polypeptide-p (an insulin-like protein), and vicine. Together, they work synergistically to lower blood sugar by increasing the uptake of glucose into your cells and inhibiting glucose production in the liver.

Beyond sugar control, Momordica is a bitter tonic. That bitterness stimulates digestion and liver function. It is also high in Vitamin C, which supports your immune system, and has been shown to inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are harmful proteins that accelerate aging.

Natural Food Sources

The best way to consume Momordica is through the whole fruit. Note: The bitterness increases the potency, but soaking it in salt water or lemon juice before cooking can reduce the intensity.

Supplementation

If you cannot tolerate the taste or lack access to fresh produce, Momordica Extract capsules are a great alternative.

• Dosage: Standardized extracts typically range from 500mg to 1000mg, taken twice daily with meals.
