Things worth knowing about "Bitter melon"
Bitter melon, also known as bitter cucumber, has a particularly positive effect on blood sugar levels, metabolism and the immune system thanks to its bioactive ingredients.
The tropical plant contains bioactive compounds such as charantin, polypeptide-P and momordicin, which act like insulin and improve glucose metabolism. These substances promote the uptake of glucose into the cells and simultaneously reduce glucose production in the liver. As a result, bitter melon helps to stabilise blood sugar levels and can reduce the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
Bitter melon not only supports blood sugar control, but also fat metabolism. By stimulating the metabolism, it promotes fat burning and inhibits the formation of new fat in the liver. Bitter melon is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. These substances counteract oxidative stress, reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. This contributes to the health of the skin, heart and immune system.
