Emerging research such as on sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) (a protein that facilitates glucose reabsorption in the kidney) and clinical practices highlight the significance of targeting glucose absorption mechanisms as a progressive strategy for metabolic health, focusing on the potential benefits of naturally derived compounds in enhancing glucose regulation.
Research identifies specific C-glycosidic structures as promising for their role in glucose management, offering new directions beyond traditional approaches for metabolic health support.
"Exploring the role of natural compounds in influencing glucose absorption and excretion processes offers insight into supportive strategies for managing glucose levels, emphasizing the integration of dietary components in metabolic health.
Studies suggest that natural C-glycosides, particularly from P. marsupium, show promise in supporting glucose management, underscoring the potential of plant-based compounds in dietary approaches to metabolic health.
Apart from maintaining healthy blood glucose levels, Vijaysar is also believed to be having some unique features like beta cell protective and regenerative properties (Hariharan et al., 2005).
