Three Pills per Dose, Lots of Extra Ingredients,
By Vinya (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nature's Way Blood Sugar with Gymnema, 386 mg, 90 Capsules (Health and Beauty)
I'm going to assume that if you're looking at this product, you know that Gymnema Sylvestre can help control high blood sugar, and that you're trying to figure out if *this* is the product you want, not just if you want to take Gymnema in general.The product information provided (as of the writing of this review) is pretty lacking. For example, the 386 mg number, which I assumed was the amount of Gymnema extract per capsule, isn't; on the bottle, it clarifies a 100 mg dose per serving... and that each serving is three capsules! The other ingredients (per serving) are Vitamin A (1500 IU), Chromium polynicotinate (300 mcg), Cinnamon bark (400 mg), Fenugreek seed extract (210 mg), Nopal Opuntia (150 mg), Bitter Melon extract (150 g) and Bilberry leaf (100 mg). For those desiring a vegan product, be aware that the capsules themselves have gelatin and this is not labelled a vegetarian/vegan friendly product. The recommended dosage instructions say to take three capsules twice a day. So, when doing price comparisons, be aware that this bottle contains 15 days' worth of supplements only! At this point, I can't make any claims about the efficacy of this product, as Fenugreek and Cinnamon are contraindicated for use during pregnancy (Gymnema and Chromium were recommended to me by my care provider, but of course, check with your own before taking any supplements). Overall, due to the misleading dosage/product information (I still haven't figured out what the 386 mg refers to...), and the plethora of other ingredients, I wouldn't recommend this supplement. I'll be looking for something with a shorter ingredient list and fewer pills per dose.

Bitter Aftertaste,
By Hi from WA (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nature's Way Blood Sugar with Gymnema, 386 mg, 90 Capsules (Health and Beauty)
I wish I had done a little more research before purchasing this item. After using it for a day I looked up more information on gymnema and found out it was the culprit behind the bitter medicine aftertaste in my mouth. Apparently gymnema is such a great sugar killer that it also affects your taste buds, even several hours after taking the pills. So, if you are after reducing or eliminating your desire for carbs or much of anything else, this might be a good thing to try. I am going to try just taking it before I go to bed, but this is not within the product recommendation and of course it would be better to take along with each meal. I've already ordered straight chromium polynicotinate so I am hoping that will better suit my needs. I want to eat less carbs too, but my real intent is to enhance the function of my pancreas and still enjoy the act of eating.

I have almost finished the third bottle of this product and it has NOT changed my blood sugar level at all.
