Bitter Melon Extract, Not bitter, But useful
Bitter melon is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, widely grown in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean for its edible fruit, which is among the most bitter of all fruits[citation needed] . This herbaceous, tendril-bearing vine grows to 5 m. It bears simple, alternate leaves 4–12 cm across, with three to seven deeply separated lobes. Each plant bears separate yellow male and female flowers. In the Northern Hemisphere, flowering occurs during June to July and fruiting during September to November. Its many varieties differ substantially in the shape and bitterness of the fruit. This is a plant of the tropics. It has 600 years cultivation history in China.
Main effective substance in it includes Charantin, other bitter melon seeds glycosides, high-energy clear grease substance, bitter melon polypeptide and citrulline, etc.
Effects:
1. An antidiabetic effect. Bitter melon contains steroidal saponins such as balsam pear element, para-insulin and alkaloid, these substances show antidiabetics activity.
Bitter melon also contains a lectin that has insulin-like activity due to its nonprotein-specific linking together to insulin receptors. This lectin lowers blood glucose concentrations by acting on peripheral tissues and, similar to insulin's effects in the brain, suppressing appetite. This lectin is likely a major contributor to the hypoglycemic effect that develops after eating bitter melon
In 2007, a study by the Philippine Department of Health determined a daily dose of 100 mg per kilogram of body weight is comparable to 2.5 mg/kg of the antidiabetes drug glibenclamide taken twice per day. Tablets of bitter melon extract are sold in the Philippines as a food supplement and exported to many countries.
2. Antiviral: Bitter melon extract has been used for psoriasis and may delay cataract or retinopathy.
Laboratory tests suggest compounds in bitter melon might be effective for treating HIV infection.[18] As most compounds isolated from bitter melon that impact HIV have either been proteins or lectins, neither of which are well-absorbed, it is unlikely that oral intake of bitter melon will slow HIV in infected people.
3. loss weight. From bitter melon extract of bioactive components in high energy clear fat meat has the good loss weight effect. After study shows a daily dose of high-energy clear grease substance for 2 mg - 4 mg can help absorb the 6 to 12 kg fat in the waist, abdomen, buttocks, thigh of the place such as fat about 3 to 7 kg resolved.
