Traditional Indian medicine, herb Salacia

to a Friend : : : : Herbs
used in traditional Indian medicine to treat
diabetes seems to lower
blood sugar and insulin levels in a manner
similar to prescription
drugs, a new study reports. Researchers
gave extracts of the herb
Salacia oblonga to 39 healthy adults, and
the results were promising.
The largest dose of the herb extract - 1,000
milligrams - decreased
insulin and blood glucose levels by 29 and
23 percent, respectively.
: : "These kinds of reductions are similar
to what we might see with
prescription oral medications for people
with diabetes," said Steve
Hertzler, a study co-author and an assistant
professor of nutrition
at Ohio State University. : : Salacia oblonga,
which is native to
regions of India and Sri Lanka, binds to
intestinal enzymes that
break down carbohydrates in the body. These
enzymes, called
alpha-glucosidases, turn carbohydrates into
glucose, the sugar that
circulates throughout the body. If the enzyme
binds to the herbal
extract rather than to a carbohydrate, then
less glucose gets into
the blood stream, resulting in lowered blood
glucose and insulin
levels. : : "Lowering blood glucose levels
lowers the risk of
disease-related complications in people
with diabetes," Hertzler
said. "Also, poor compliance with diabetes
medications often hinders
the effectiveness of these drugs. It may
be easier to get someone to
take an herb with food or in a beverage,
as opposed to a pill." : :
The study appears in a recent issue of the
Journal of the American
Dietetic Association. : : Thirty-nine healthy
adults participated in
four separate meal tolerance tests. These
meals, which were given in
beverage form, were spaced three to 14 days
apart. Each participant
fasted for at least 10 hours before consuming
the test beverage. : :
Participants were asked to drink about two
cups' worth of the chilled
beverage, which contained zero, 500, 700
or 1,000 milligrams of
Salacia oblonga extract. Afterward, the
researchers used the
finger-prick method to draw blood samples
from each person every 15
to 30 minutes for three hours. These blood
samples were used to
determine insulin and blood glucose concentrations.
The biggest
changes in blood glucose and insulin levels
usually happen within the
first two hours after eating. : : The beverage
that contained the
highest concentration of the herbal extract
- 1,000 milligrams -
provided the most dramatic reduction in
insulin and blood glucose
levels. Insulin levels were 29 percent lower,
while blood glucose
levels were 23 percent lower as compared
to the control drink, which
contained no herbal extract. : : As Salacia
oblonga can cause
intestinal gas, the researchers had the
study participants collect
breath hydrogen samples hourly for eight
hours after drinking the
test beverage. The participants collected
their breath in small
plastic tubes. The researchers then analyzed
these breath samples for
hydrogen and methane content - the level
of either substance in the
breath corresponds to the level contained
in the colon. : : The
subjects also rated the frequency and intensity
of nausea, abdominal
cramping and distention and gas for two
days after consuming each
test meal. : : While the test beverages
containing Salacia oblonga
caused an increase in breath hydrogen excretion,
reports of
gastrointestinal discomfort were minimal,
Hertzler said. : : Right
now he and his colleagues are trying to
figure out what dose of the
herb is most effective, and when it should
be taken relative to a
meal. : : "We want to know how long it takes
for the herb to bind to
the enzymes that break down carbohydrates,"
Hertzler said. "The
participants in this study took the herb
with their meal, but maybe
taking it before eating would be even more
effective." : : The
researchers also want to study the effects
of Salacia oblonga in
people with diabetes. : : "A lot of studies
show that lowering blood
sugar levels reduces the risk for all kinds
of diabetes-related
complications, such as kidney disease and
nerve and eye damage,"
Hertzler said. "We want to see if this herb
has this kind of effect."
: : Salacia oblonga is still relatively
difficult to find in the
United States, Hertzler said, although there
are manufacturers that
sell the herb through the Internet. : :
This study was supported by
the Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories
in Columbus. : :
Hertzler is continuing to conduct Salacia
oblonga studies with the
Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories.
He has no links to the
company beyond this affiliation. : : Hertzler
conducted the work with
former Ohio State colleague Patricia Heacock,
who is now at Rutgers,
the State University of New Jersey; Jennifer
Williams, a clinical
scientist with Ross Products Division, Abbott
Laboratories; and Bryan
Wolf, a former research scientists with
Ross Products Division
