Gymnema Sylvestre 600mg

Gymnema Sylvestre 600mg from Masmusculo Supplements: leaf extract in capsules

A single-active food supplement. There's no blend of various plants here, nor fillers that dilute the formula: what you get is dry Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract, 600 mg per daily dose, with a known concentration of gymnemic acid. This is the reference component of the plant and the one used to standardise the extract, in this case to 25%.

• Dry Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract, 600 mg per daily dose
• Standardised to 25% gymnemic acid, equivalent to 150 mg
• A single active ingredient in the formula
• Capsule presentation

Standardisation is what sets an extract apart from a simple crushed leaf. When a percentage is stated, the proportion of the reference component is fixed, so you know exactly what you're getting with each dose. In a crushed leaf, that proportion varies.

Composition per daily dose

These are the amounts corresponding to the full daily dose of two capsules:

• Dry Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract: 600 mg
• 25% gymnemic acid: 150 mg

The 150 mg of gymnemic acid isn't added on top of the 600 mg of extract: it's part of it. It's the standardised fraction within the leaf extract itself.

Recommended daily dose

Take 2 capsules a day with water, half an hour before a meal.

Frequently asked questions about Gymnema Sylvestre 600mg

Which part of the plant is used?

The leaf. The active ingredient comes from a dry extract made from Gymnema sylvestre leaves.

What is gymnemic acid?

It's the component used as a reference in extracts from this plant. In this formula it accounts for 25% of the extract, meaning 150 mg within the 600 mg daily dose.

What does it mean for the extract to be standardised to 25%?

It means the proportion of gymnemic acid isn't left to chance: it's fixed at that percentage, so the amount provided is always the same. Without standardisation, that concentration could vary from one batch to another.

Does it contain other extracts or active ingredients?

No. It's a single-active formula, with Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract as the only declared active ingredient.

Who is it aimed at?

Adults who want to add Gymnema sylvestre to their supplement routine in capsule form, within the general health and wellbeing category.

How does it differ from an extract with no percentage stated?

The exact concentration of the reference component is known. When only the weight of the extract is given, there's no way of knowing how much gymnemic acid it actually provides.
