Pumpkin Extract Beneficial for Diabetic Patients
Pumpkin extract has insulin–like effects. It can help people with diabetes keep their blood sugar under control.
Quoting Chinese researchers that animals with drug–induced diabetes treated with pumpkin extract had lower blood glucose levels, greater insulin secretion, and more insulin–producing beta cells than diabetic rats that weren’t given the extract. This action may be due to the presence of both antioxidants and D–chiro–inositol, a molecule that mediates insulin activity.
Pumpkin extract is potentially a very good product for pre–diabetic persons, as well as those who have already developed diabetes.
Pumpkin is frequently used to treat diabetes and high blood glucose in Asia.
