Why this combination
Karela juice is India's most popular natural diabetes remedy. Polypeptide-P mimics insulin. Charantin activates GLUT4 transporters. Bottle gourd provides a neutral, ultra-low-calorie base that dilutes bitterness without sugar. Lemon and ginger make it palatable. The recipe your grandmother would approve of.
30 minutes before your largest meal. Start with 100ml, increase to 250ml over 1 week. Polypeptide-P can cause hypoglycaemia at high doses in non-diabetics.
“Intensely bitter. Medicinal. Lemon and ginger reduce it to 'tolerable' rather than 'pleasant'. Loyal diabetic customers value the bitterness — polypeptide-P IS the bitter compound.”
