Commentary:
Shardunika is renowned for its use in promoting healthy blood glucose levels and supporting the proper function of the pancreas. A little shardunika on the tongue has the power to dull the taste buds to the sense of sweet, thus it is known as the ‘killer of sweet’. It promotes the healthy production of insulin and supports the body’s natural metabolic process. Shardunika also promotes healthy management of the appetite and sugar cravings.

Herbal tablets that contain Shardunika include: Sweet Ease 9 months ago

This herb has been used for type 1 & 2 diabetes for over 2,000 years in India.
It helps reduce sugar cravings & also fills receptor sites in your intestines for sugar so you don’t absorb as much sugar if you do eat it. The herb also helps to regrow beta cells in the pancreas so that it works better.

I’m going to experiment with taking this herb in powder & capsule form.
I don’t have diabetes but I do eat more sugar than I like, and I also occasionally drink wine.
What I have noticed is that drinking wine after having gymnema for 3 days in a row, the wine had no effect. I tried it another day and the same thing happened. I haven’t had any since then.

I have seen people take this herb & lose weight without changing anything else.

Right now I’m taking 3 small spoons of it on time a day.
I might switch to 1 spoon before each meal.
It’s definitely a diuretic, I noticed that the first day I took it.
