Is IME-9 Good for Diabetes?
As you know, diabetes is an endocrine disorder. This is a significant decrease in the functioning of insulin. It is caused because of one of the two reasons- decreased insulin production or increased insulin resistance.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreases. It moderates the blood sugar level.
But how does it do that? Insulin encourages the use of blood sugar by neighboring cells. It is because of insulin that target cells in your body absorb sugar carried by the blood.
In the absence of insulin or malfunctioning, some serious conditions can be observed. A static high level of sugar in blood poses a serious threat to the cardiovascular system.
The blood vessels are affected the most. It can cause heart diseases like stroke, affect the renal system, and cause vision impairment. In severe cases, the nerves of your body might be affected as well.
And these are all signs and symptoms of diabetes.
These tablets increase the insulin count in the body and delay the process of glucose absorption in the small intestine. Further complications linked to diabetes are also curbed. The tablet is also effective at keeping a strict check on skin infections, coronary heart disease, and high blood pressure.
IME 9 tablets play a major role in regulating the symptoms of diabetes. Its major function includes the regeneration of lost beta cells. It increases the production of insulin and slows down the absorption of insulin from the digestive tract.
By regulating these two mechanisms, there is never any sudden increase in blood sugar levels. Not only does it keep your major symptoms intact, but it also increases life expectancy.
IME 9 ingredients
As mentioned earlier, IME 9 is an all-natural product. It is a unique blend of five Ayurvedic ingredients:
1. Amra
Also known as Spanish Plum has a serious impact on the beta-cells of pancreases. It encourages the release of insulin from beta-cells and aims to establish a hypoglycemic condition in the body.
2. Jamun
Jamun of Purple Indian Berry has a sugar elevating effect. It is incorporated to counterbalance the effects of Amar. Once these two ingredients are balanced properly, they have a regulating effect on the blood sugar level. The sugar level is never too high nor too low at any time.
3. Bitter Gourd
Bitter Gourd is full of nutrients. A combination of chemicals present in Bitter Gourd help reduces the blood sugar level. In addition to this, it also encourages the production of insulin by the beta cells of pancreases. It also has a preservation effect on beta cells minimizing their decay.
4. Meshashringi
It is in human nature to crave for food, especially food. And you know how difficult it is to handle a craving. Keeping this in mind, manufacturers have introduced Meshashringi in the IME 9 tablet. It controls your inner urge to consume sweets and sugar-laden products. It automatically reduces the chances of any sugar elevation after meals.
In addition to this, it slows down the absorption of carbohydrates from the intestines.
5. Shilajit
It has an indirect effect on the production of insulin. Shilajit protects the beta-cells from free radical damage. Increased life of beta cells ensures that there is more production of insulin.
These are the main ingredients present in IME 9 tablets. They are present in appropriate combinations to maximize output and reduce side effects.
How IME 9 Tablet Works in Diabetes?
In diabetes, the body loses its ability to produce sufficient insulin or insulin resistance in the cells. In either of the circumstances, blood glucose levels go uncontrollably high, accompanying other symptoms like weight loss, excessive thirst, the appearance of blisters, fatigue, and so on.
IME 9 tablet is bestowed with the goodness of several natural ingredients that are adept at controlling diabetes.
The natural ingredient, Amra being endowed with some bio-dynamic mixtures that stimulate more insulin production from beta cells of the pancreas. This calls for a decline in blood glucose levels, sighing relief to every diabetes patient.
Secondly, karela is also efficient at promoting hypoglycemic effects. It is an excellent anti-diabetic natural remedy that brings soaring blood sugar levels down. gudmar, on the other court, helps in boosting insulin production. It also increases the ability of cells to absorb glucose from the blood.
With its wonderful hypoglycemic properties, Jamun successfully reduces glucose levels in the blood and magnifies serum insulin levels.
What does Research say about the effectivesness of IME-9?
A couple of researches were conducted on the effectiveness of IME 9 tablets in Diabetes. The results showed that IME 9 successfully reduced blood glucose levels of newly diagnosed patients by 96%. The glycosylated hemoglobin levels were also found to be reduced in a similar crowd of patients.
In some cases, there was an initial rise in blood glucose levels upon starting with the tablet, but the levels went down from the 8th week onwards. Altogether, IME 9 was recommended as the first line of choice for newly diagnosed diabetes patients ready to go with Ayurvedic treatment, in these studies.
Double-blind clinical trials were conducted on humans to determine the potency and efficacy of IME 9 medicine. Before it hit the market, the IME 9 tablet had to be approved by The Department of Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Sidhi, and Homeopathy (AYUSH). There was the active participation of NRDC as well.
Final Verdict: The amount of scientific evidence on the effectiveness of IME-9 is limited. More large-scale studies are required to prove that IME 9 is effective in controlling Diabetes. Consult your doctor before starting this herbal medication for your diabetes management.
