Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) is an Asian vegetable in the squash family. Its bitter taste has earned it a reputation, in many Asian cuisines, as a food that helps stimulate the body’s digestive juices. Bitter melon is considered one of the “original medicines” in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine disciplines, wherein it often is included in blood sugar formulations. Our bitter melon products are unique in that they include both bitter melon fruit (extract) and wildcrafted bitter melon leaf (most bitter melon products contain only the fruit).

Bitter melon is contraindicated during pregnancy. Since bitter melon may lower blood sugar levels, it is also contraindicated in cases of low blood sugar, unless recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
