Balsam Pear Extract

Raw material introduction

Balsam pear belongs to cucurbitaceae and is known for its name. Balsam pear grows in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of East Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and South America, where it is both food and medicine. It can produce beautiful flowers and prickly fruits. The fruit of this plant is the same as its name it tastes bitter. Although the seeds, leaves and vines of Momordica charantia can be used, its fruit is the safest and most widely used medicinal part of the plant. The juice of its leaves, fruits or seeds are used as insect repellents; In Brazil, its dosage as an insect repellent is 2 to 3 seeds.

Why balsam pear extract Can Resist Diabetes

Balsam pear contains steroidal saponins such as balsam pear, insulin like peptides and alkaloids, which endow balsam pear with hypoglycemic activity. Momordicin stimulates the release of insulin and blocks the formation of glucose in the blood stream, which may play a huge role in the treatment of diabetes, especially non insulin dependent diabetes. This hypoglycemic function is attributed to two substances:

(1) Momordicin - a crystalline substance obtained from the ethanol extract of Momordica charantia fruit. At a controlled dose of 50mg/kg, momordicin reduced blood glucose by 42% of the total number of experimental rabbits. Momordicin shows the effect of pancreas and exopancreas, and has slight antispasmodic and anticholinergic effects.

(2) P-insulin (or v-insulin, because it is plant insulin). Its structure is macromolecular polypeptide configuration, while its pharmacology is similar to that of bovine insulin. P-insulin consists of two polypeptide chains linked by disulfide bonds. It has hypoglycemic effect on subcutaneous and muscular administration of P-insulin in diabetic patients. Its peak effect is different from that of bovine insulin 2 hours later, which occurs 4-8 hours later.

Matters needing attention

High dose of balsam pear extract can cause diarrhea; Those with hypoglycemia and insulin diabetes should avoid using balsam pear extract.
