Benefits of Bitter Melon
What Is Bitter Melon Fruit?
Bitter Melon Fruit (Momordica charantia) is largely grown for
edible fruit, and is among the most bitter of all vegetables.
It is a tropical vine of the Cucurbitaceae family, and is a
relative of watermelon, squash and cucumber. Where this
species originates is not known, other than it being native
to the tropics. It is widely grown in Africa, China, South
and Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.
Bitter Melon Fruit Extract
The extract from the bitter melon fruit provides therapeutic
properties. There have been at least 32 active constituents
that have been identified. Some of these include lycopene,
citrulline and GABA. It is also found to be high in calcium,
iron, potassium, vitamin C and the B vitamins 1, 2 and 3.
Bitter Melon Benefits
Bitter melon has been recommended as one of the best herbal
medicines for managing diabetes.
In the United States, there has been much interest in the
use of bitter melon as an alternative therapy for AIDS. It
also appears to have anti-viral properties, and possibly
anti-cancer properties.
Bitter Melon Weight Loss
Digestion plays a crucial role in weight loss, and bitter
melon should be part of a successful diet plan. Certain
natural herbs and fruits enhance digestion and detoxify
the body. They also help regulate the storage of energy
and fat. Poor digestion can result in w eight gain and
obesity, and bitter melon helps counteract this effect.
Sometimes physiology works against us and we develop
insulin resistance. Bitter melon combats this by reducing
insulin resistance, making it easier to lose weight.
Where To Buy Bitter Melon Fruit?
Bitter melon fruit is available in capsule form at many
online health supplement sites. You can also buy bitter
melon fruit supplements at many local health food stores.
Finding the actual fruit may prove to be more difficult,
unless you have an Indian/Asian grocery store in your
local area. Bitter melon fruit is also found as a natural
ingredient in a large number of popular weight loss
supplements.
