Benefits

Banaba leaf powder benefits:

Banaba for Diabetes: Banaba leaf, not to be confused with “banana” leaf, has been used for thousands of years in India and the Philippines to help in diabetes and low blood sugar levels.

Weight Loss: An interesting "side-effect" of tighter control of blood sugar and insulin levels is a significant tendency of banaba to promote weight loss (an average of 1-2 kgs. per month) – without significant dietary alterations. For this reason, it is found in many weight-control formulas. It is likely that modulation of glucose and insulin levels reduces total caloric intake somewhat and encourages moderate weight-loss. The leaves, also contain the minerals manganese and zinc.

Banaba for kidney and kidney stone: Drinking banaba tea can help melting stone in kidney very fast. It helps to combat inflammation in the kidney as well.
