31 Jul 2020 --- Consumption of Sweetkick, a sugar control mint based on Gymnema sylvestre (GS) leaf extract, lowered test participants’ desire to continue consuming chocolate, according to a new Nutrients-published study. The researchers found that the Ayurvedic plant’s gymnemic acids selectively suppressed taste responses to sweet compounds without affecting the perception of other taste elements. This research provides a natural means of sugar consumption control amid a global push to reformulate foods that reduce sugar while tackling obesity issues.
