Gymnema: The Sugar Destroyer Leaf Explained
Few plants have a nickname as bold as gymnema. People call it the sugar destroyer, and the story behind that name is easy to follow.

Where the name comes from
Chewing a gymnema leaf makes the taste of sugar fade for a little while. That odd effect is how the plant earned the Hindi name gurmar.
How people use it today
Today gymnema leaf extract is used in supplements for healthy sugar handling and for managing sweet cravings. It is one of the main plants linked with this area of wellness.

HoneyHarmony places gymnema beside chromium picolinate. One is a plant and one is a mineral, so together they look at the same area from two sides.
