Indications & Uses
Domnil is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Fenugreek seed is one of the most ancient medicinal herbs. The plant is an annual and belongs to the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae). Its scientific name is Trigonella foenum-graecum. In the Fenugreek + Gymnema combination, the antidiabetic properties of the fenugreek seeds are attributed to the active substances they contain: Saponins, Diosgenin, 4-Hydroxyisoleucin, Galactomannan and Trigonelline. The seeds contain 50% Saponins, which reduce the rate of glucose absorption in the digestive tract. 4-Hydroxyisoleucin stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and also decreases insulin resistance. Galactomannan helps in glucose resorption, and Trigonelline improves B-cell regeneration.
Gymnema sylvestre is popularly known as Gurmar, because of its distinct property as a sugar destroyer. The phytoconstituents responsible for sweet suppression activity are a Triterpene Saponin known as Gymnemic Acids, Gymnemasaponin and a Polypeptide Gurmarin. Gymnema sylvestre has good prospects in the treatment of diabetes. It shows positive effects on blood sugar homeostasis, controls sugar cravings and promotes regeneration of the pancreas. The herbal extract is also used in dietary supplements, since it reduces body weight, blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
