No, it is not a medicine. It is better referred to as functional food or supplement. In simple terms, Ampalaya Plus is a vegetable in a capsule with clinically tested blood sugar lowering properties.

Our clinical study showed that it prevented/reduced the rise in blood sugar after meals for diabetics and non-diabetic subjects. For diabetics who took the product the rise in their blood sugar was not as high as those who took the placebo. Furthermore, the diabetics who took the product also experienced a faster decrease in blood sugar an hour after taking the meal and the food supplement compared to the control group.

There are many factors including which parts of the plant is used in the preparation or how the raw material is handled or the source of the raw material and the planting condition where the raw material is harvested. These are all factors that significantly affect the efficacy of the product. There are some studies, which show that there may be side effects in using seeds of the Ampalaya.

Ideally, you should take it before your meal. Dosage is 1 capsule but you can increase it depending on your tolerance level and condition. It is best that you monitor your blood sugar every time you take Ampalaya Plus together with your medication. You and your Doctor will be in the best position to evaluate this.

Yes, the Clinical Study done on non-diabetics at the UP College of Medicine shows that when the product is administered to the subjects before each meal, the rise in the blood sugar level is significantly lower than in the group administered with the placebo.

Ampalaya or Amargozo is a vegetable grown throughout the Philippines. It is mostly cultivated, although wild forms can be found.

No. There is no Ampalaya Plus study yet involving pregnant women and children below 7 years old. Hence, caution should be taken.

far as lowering of the blood sugar is concerned, it varies from person to person. However, our study and reports from Diabetics showed that lowering blood sugar took as fast as 30 minutes after taking Ampalaya Plus. But after their blood sugar had gone down they also reported that it has stabilized at the level for as long as they continued to use Ampalaya Plus and maintained the same medication, exercise and diet as before.

If your insulin dose is less than 30 units a day, Medifast recommends you discontinue it entirely when you begin the plan. Monitor blood sugar readings twice a day during the early weeks, then decrease monitoring to two to three times a week. If you are on more than 30 units a day, you can usually decrease your dose by half, then reduce it further as your blood-sugar level drops. Monitor blood sugars as above.

Without insulin action, glucose and other nutrients from food cannot be used properly and glucose levels rise in the blood.
