About Ginseng & Coccinia Indica
Ginseng, both Asian and American, have antidiabetic effects with more evidence for Type 2. Coccinia indica, or Ivy Gourd, can help improve glucose regulation for both types of diabetes. Since they can lower blood sugar, monitor carefully if used in combination with antidiabetes drugs and be aware of potential interactions for American and Asian Ginseng.
