Salacia oblonga Advantages (Saptarangi)
Diabetes is the most common application for Salacia oblonga (Saptarangi). Salacia oblonga is an efficient anti-diabetic medication that is safer than chemically manufactured medicines.
According to a new study, it is used in traditional Indian medicine to treat diabetes and appears to lower blood sugar and insulin levels in a manner comparable to modern medications. The extract of the plant Salacia oblonga was given to 39 healthy people, and the findings were positive. The highest dose of the herb extract, 1,000 milligrammes, reduced insulin and blood glucose levels by 29 and 23%, respectively.

These types of reductions are comparable to what we could see with prescription oral diabetic drugs," said Steve Hertzler, a research co-author and assistant professor of nutrition at Ohio State University. Salacia oblonga, which is native to India and Sri Lanka, binds to digestive enzymes that help the body break down carbs. These enzymes, known as alpha-glucosidases, convert carbs into glucose, which circulates throughout the body.
If the enzyme attaches to the herbal extract instead of a carbohydrate, less glucose enters the bloodstream, resulting in reduced blood glucose and insulin levels "Lowering blood glucose levels reduces the risk of diabetes-related problems, according to Hertzler. "In addition, poor adherence to diabetic treatments frequently impairs their effectiveness.
