"Pterocarpus Marsupium, has a long history of use in India as a
treatment for diabetes. The flavonoid epicatechin is extracted from the bark of this plant. Epicatechin has been show to beta cell damagae in the pancreas of rats. Futher both epicatechin and a crude alchol extract of Pterocarpus have actually regenerated pacreatic beta cells in diabetic animals. Epicatechin is also found in green tea (tea made of camelia sinensis). I know of no current commercial source of Pterocarpus, green tea may be a suitable alternative. Diabetics and hypoglycemics should drink at least 2 coupls of green tea a day." |
