Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active ingredient, Bitter Melon, contains phytochemicals like charantin, polypeptide-p, and vicine. These compounds function at a cellular level by mimicking insulin and enhancing glucose uptake in cells. They activate AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a key enzyme that regulates metabolism. This process helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting the transport of sugar from the bloodstream into muscle and liver cells, effectively improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy blood sugar levels
- Enhances insulin sensitivity
- Promotes metabolic health
- Provides antioxidant support
Usage & Safety
Take 2 quick-release capsules daily, preferably with a meal to aid absorption and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you are taking medication for diabetes (e.g., insulin or sulfonylureas) to monitor for potential hypoglycemia. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.
