How Karela Works
Numerous health benefits of Karela include positive influence on sugar levels in blood and urine. Some of Karela constituents have direct influence on the glucose tolerance and thus blood glucose levels. These are:

Namely, such polypeptide as Gumarin, which is a Karela constituent, is very similar to bovine insulin.
