 Insulin Plant extract has been observed to regulate glucose levels among persons with diabetes just by consuming 1 fresh leaf per day. According to a study, the effect kicks in on the 15th day of consumption!

Like any other herbal plant, researchers do not encourage continuous use as it can have adverse effects. 

The literature we obtained recommends taking it for 30 days (2 leaves in the morning, 2 leaves at night for the first 7 days; 1 leaf in the morning, 1 leaf at night from Day 8 to Day 30). You take a break from Day 31 onwards. 

Make sure to measure your blood sugar on Day 1 so you can measure its effects up to Day 30.

Taste-wise, it is much like Kamias. The sourness will dissipate as you chew. The most important part of the insulin plant is its extract, so make sure to chew well before swallowing.
