Ingredient evidence guide
Bitter Melon and Blood Sugar
Bitter melon is one of the six ingredients prominently highlighted on the current GlycoMute offer page.
What the evidence can tell us
NCCIH groups bitter melon with other herbal supplements studied for diabetes and says the overall research is limited in number, size and quality and has not proven that these herbal products are effective for diabetes.
What it cannot tell us
Evidence on an individual ingredient does not prove the clinical effect of GlycoMute or any other multi-ingredient supplement. Finished products can use different extracts and doses, and interactions between ingredients can change tolerability.
Safety and medication context
Bitter melon may affect glucose. If you use insulin or other glucose-lowering medicine, combining it with supplements should be discussed with your clinician or pharmacist.
