Organic Gymnema Tea

In the Know
Gymnema Tea may be an unfamiliar one to many, as it has only made its introduction to the western world in recent years. This is not the case in India, where gymnema can be found growing naturally. Gymnema is a vine-like climbing herb found in the tropical forests of India, Africa, and Australia. In India, it is harvested for its leaves, which can be either chewed or dried to be used for making herbal tea. Indians have consumed gymnema tea for more than two thousand years, and today it is available to people worldwide.
 
What's the Gymnema Scoop?
There is nothing magical about this remarkable herb. It's science. The actual constituents of the gymnema leave reveal a compound called gymnemic acids, which, science tells us, restrain the binding of carbohydrates to the receptors in the intestines. Additionally, gymnemic acids have shown the remarkable ability to actually destroy the taste sensation of sweet on the tongue, thus diminishing one's craving for sugar.
