Brindalberry is believed to reduce appetite
and inhibit the liver conversion of
carbohydrates into fats. This effect may help
reduce the level of triglicerides in the
blood. Brindalberry is another name for
Garcinia cambogi.
Gymnema blocks carbohydrate absorption in the
intestines and, in the same way, blocks the
taste of sweet and bitter if it contacts taste
buds. It has been used in India for a long
time as an aid for diabetes. Psyllium and
marshmallow swell in the stomach and produce a
feeling of fullness.
Take AS with water 20-30 minutes before meals.
For a demonstration, place part of the powder
from a capsule on your tongue and mix with
saliva. Now try some sugar. It has no taste
and feels like sand. Do you crave a candy
bar? If you can powder your tongue on the way
to the candy machine the candy bar will taste
like mud. (Don't worry, the effect does wear
off).
