In this study, researchers from Congo-Brazzaville and France investigated the antidiabetic properties of the ethanol extract of Momordica charantia, also known as bitter melon. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that M. charantia is a potent natural medicine for diabetes, thanks to the presence of charantine and its ability to lower blood glucose levels.
