What Is Banaba Extract?
Banaba Extract is one of the five named ingredients in Glycopic. Here's a plain-language look at what it actually is.
Where It Comes From
Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) is a flowering tree native to Southeast Asia, with a long history in traditional herbal practice for supporting healthy blood sugar.
The Active Compound
Researchers have focused on corosolic acid, a compound found in Banaba leaves, for its studied role in helping glucose move from the bloodstream into cells more efficiently.
Why It's Paired With Bitter Melon
Both Banaba and Bitter Melon are traditionally associated with glucose transport, giving Glycopic's formula two angles on the same general process rather than relying on one ingredient alone.
What We're Not Claiming
Banaba Extract is not a medical treatment, and Glycopic does not treat any diagnosed condition. This is general information, not medical advice.
