Java Plum

Jamun is South Asia's most famous antidiabetic fruit.

seed powder at a practical daily dose significantly lowered blood sugar, post-meal glucose spikes, and long-term glycemic control markers (HbA1c) in multiple controlled studies.

unique alkaloids and flavonoids in the seeds directly block the conversion of starch to sugar.

beyond diabetes, it tackles the whole metabolic syndrome picture — blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, inflammation. every part of the tree has use: fruit for antioxidant and anticancer benefit, seeds for diabetes, bark and leaves for additional conditions.

used in Ayurveda to treat arthritis, obesity, urinary diseases, asthma, bowel spasms, stomach pain, flatulence, diabetes, and dysentery since ancient times.

in a randomized controlled study, 10g/day of seed powder supplementation for 90 days reduced fasting plasma glucose by 30%, post-prandial plasma glucose by 22%, and HbA1c from 8.99% to 8.31% in diabetic individuals with poor glycemic control.

seeds contain jambosine and jambolin/antimellin, which inhibit conversion of starch to sugar.

clinical studies confirmed ameliorating effects against metabolic syndrome including antioxidation, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, and anti-hyperlipidemic effects. currently used as folk medicine for treatment of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia.
