Banaba Leaf Extract

Banaba leaf extract is derived from the leaves of the Banaba plant, also known as Lagerstroemia speciosa, which is native to Southeast Asia. It has been traditionally used as a medicinal herb and is now commonly used as a dietary supplement due to its potential health benefits. Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) is a type of crepe myrtle that grows in India, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia. The leaves are used as medicine. Banaba might reduce blood sugar and help the body use insulin more efficiently. People use bananas for diarrhea. They are also used for athletic performance, constipation, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.
