It really stops my incessant need for sweets
I dont ever write reviews on Amazon even though I have been a member for a LONG time. However this product has to be given 5 stars for taming my out-of-control sweet tooth. I have only been taking for 4 days but it is miraculous that I am not gorging on cookies or whatever I can find. Thank you to the makers of this product. It WORKS!! and I have NOT received any free products or accomodation in any way for this review.

Best stuff in the world
Best stuff in the world.. went from 4x to a 16 in a year and a half...my A1c went to normal for the first time in decades .. been sick so much lately so my A1c went up but I’m sure had I not been taking this my A1c would have been much higher.. love getting new clothes and so many varieties of clothing options available to me now..it does make you turn your nose to anything sugary and it suppresses my appetite... it takes a while to notice a change so anyone who takes this and expects immediate changes, don’t.. keep taking it.. how I found out about gymnema was on the bbc radio going home from work and how China and Japan uses it for diabetes and I did my research and also spoke to a pharmacist about it.. watch your sugars closely and let your doctor know what your doing.. my doctor told me to continue what I’m doing because it’s working and she has taken me off medications and adjusting what I still take.. remember, it takes time to see the benefitsUpdate: had my A1c checked on Monday and I’m back to normal... listen up, it took several months for me to notice a change.. keep taking it.. I got my brother to start taking it and he at first didn’t see results so he quit taking it.. I talked to him again about it and he’s taking it and listened to me and after a few months his A1c was normal and he hasn’t seen numbers like that for a long time... it doesn’t work immediately.. don’t give up.. this is how China and Japan stopped diabetes in their country’s and why they are so thin, well most of them.. I will continue to order and thank you for making this affordable

This is my third bottle and I love it. It helps promote healthy blood glucose metabolism
This is my third bottle and I love it. It helps promote healthy blood glucose metabolism. I notice that it helps offset any carbohydrates or naturally occurring sugars I may consume and keeps me on my low carbohydrate, very low sugar, life plan which prevents weight gain or promote weight loss when necessary. I have numerous friends and a family member who take it with other supplements for their type 2 diabetes. or for weight loss. I was previously taking a Nature's Way Blood Sugar product which contained some of this. I stopped taking that as it contained cinnamon which was not Ceylon Cinnamon. If one wishes to take cinnamon medicinally, it's best to avoid standard (Cassia ) cinnamon which has very high levels of Coumarin, a substance which is known to cause liver failure in significant quantities. Ceylon Cinnamon contains 0.04% and does not present any significant danger to the liver. Most supplements and foods contain the former as it is inexpensive. I now take only a little Ceylon Cinnamon separately but rely greatly on this, Chromium Picolinate, and Relora ( superb) for helping regulate cortisol, blood sugar, and weight.

Works Very Quickly!
This product works right away!! I tried it as soon it arrived! I took 2 capsules and tried drinking something sweet and there was no taste!! I bought it to help me to stop drinking sodas. It's working! And it curbed my appetite, too! It makes me thirsty so I drink a lot of water, which is better than sodas! Will order this again!

It has really helped me.
I am a type 2 diabetic and use this to supplement my meds. Having tried the herbal rout before with no noticeable result, I was really surprised at the difference this product has made. It has helped drop my fasting glucose numbers by an average of 30 points. To verify my initial success, I quit using the Gymnema product and my glucose levels went right back up to old levels (~145 fasting) I have resumed using this product and within a day or two, my numbers went back down.

Doesn't work
Husband checks his blood sugar daily and he says these are not lowering it. Also I heard this stuff is supposed to make you crave less sweets but it doesn't do that, either. He said it was a waste of money. I bought a bottle for myself, too and haven't noticed any benefit.

Had the effect I wanted, however it achieved it.
I bought these as I was trying out a low carb diet and my blood sugar seemed to be all over the place.I never am sure with herbal supplements if it is placebo effect at work or the active ingredients are doing their thing, but I definitely felt less sugar cravings and less of the highs and lows that I was experiencing before taking it. So even if it is placebo I don’t really care I did what I wanted it to do.

Astonishing that these capsules have banished my sugar cravings !!
I purchased these after doing some research to try and get help for my sugar cravings. I have always had a sweet tooth and during the second lockdown suffered terribly with extreme sugar cravings- which resulted in my sugar consumption going out of control!!When I say how bad it was I am shocked- a full packet of jammie dodgers ; three or four packet of sweets; cake chocolate in one day thinking the next day would be different, three donuts one after the other and still wanting more.I gained 5 kilos in the space of four/ six weeks .I was desperate to get some help - I found these looking for another product that was unavailable and felt I had nothing to lose from trying, but was doubtful anything would help if I’m honest ?On day two of taking them I noticed quite a marked difference- I thought it might be a ‘placebo’ type affect ( but was happy anyway because sugar was draining me if my energy and making me feel terrible)So from day two my sugar cravings were considerably reduced, I could still eat a biscuit or some chocolate, but I wasn’t desperate or greedy for it !This has continued from that day forward; I’m astonished to say that we have a sweetie jar full of my favourites and it remains untouched, we have chocolate in the house and I don’t actually want it and when I go shopping I don’t even want to walk down the treat section!!I have just ordered my second bottle has I finished the first one today - I think I’m okay now, but slightly scared that if I don’t take continue for a tad longer the cravings will returnIbhavent lost the weight fully yet, but it is going in the right direction ☺️

Do these really work?
Bought this to try but don’t know whether this product is really going to help me reducemy blood sugars significantlyI have bought enough to last for three months but have not as yet seen any justification for continued use at the moment. May have to look into this in depth to see how they are actually supposed to work. I don’t think that it’s all about just taking them and hoping that they do miraclesStill feel that a better diet and more exercise is the way forward

Good for stabilising blood sugar level.
I bought this product because I appear to be addicted to sugar and I thought it might help suppress my sugar cravings. Unfortunately it didn't cure my problem but I have been taking it regularly for the past few months as it appears to stabilise my blood sugar level. I am not diabetic, but I test my blood sugar regularly because of my high sugar intake.

Not good
I purchased this product because I was led to believe it would help to lower my blood glucose levels. It made no difference so I will be putting these in the bin.
