Sutherlandia frutescens

Sutherlandia frutescens (L.) R. Br.

Herbal supplement developed from the leaf extract of the indigenous shrub Sutherlandia frutescens (L.) R. Br.. Research done on this plant extract found that it reversed insulin resistance and decreased intestinal glucose uptake (Chadwick et al., 2007). Scientifically identified biological active chemicals isolated from the seeds of Sutherlandia frutescens include L-canavanine, a non-protein - mino acid and pinitol, the latter associated with hypoglycaemic effects (Van Wyk et al., 2005).
