Description:
Banaba is a medicinal plant that grows in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and South China. Much of the current research on banaba has been done in China. Banaba extract comes from the leaf of Lagerstroemia Speciosa. The main active ingredient is corosolic acid, a terpenoid compound known to stimulate glucose transport across cell membranes. Leaves of the plant Lagerstroemia speciosa have been used as a folk medicine for treatment of diabetes and kidney diseases.
Functions:
1. May Help With Weight Management
Banaba is mainly marketed as a weight-loss remedy. Researchers investigated its effectiveness in a study on consuming herbs to lose weight. Results showed that after a 12-week treatment period, participants taking an herbal blend with banaba lost significantly more weight and body fat mass compared to those taking a placebo.
Participants also experienced a greater reduction in waist and hip circumference than the control group.More research is needed to determine the effectiveness and safety of using banaba as a weight-loss tool.
