One ingredient we use in our weight loss vitamin, Craving Control, is Gymnema extract. Gymnema is an herb native to the tropical forests of India, and the leaves of this woody climbing plant have been used for thousands of years in the Indian Ayurvedic tradition for treating diabetes.

It has been a naturopathic treatment by native populations for 2 millenia and has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels when used regularly. It works by enhancing the enzymes involved in utilizing glucose, which can be powerful at keeping blood sugar balanced. It has been shown to aid in the treatment and maintenance of conditions such as hyperglycemia, diabetes, and obesity.

When we treat ourselves to a sugary snack, our body experiences a surge inblood sugar followed by a dramatic drop on blood sugar. It is this quick drop in sugar levels that creates cravings. Our body tries to self-correct the imbalance in blood sugar levels by craving more sugar. By successfully maintaining blood sugar levels, we greatly reduce the urge to snack, which reduces the calories we introduce into our bodies daily.
