FAQ about this:
What is Bitter Melon?
Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is actually a member of the squash family and resembles a cucumber with bumpy skin. When first picked, a bitter melon is yellow-green, but as it ripens, it turns to a yellow-orange color. The inside of the melon is filled with fibrous seeds.
What are the health benefits of bitter Melon?
With limited scientific supports, bitter melon is general believed to benefit diabetes. In a study, researchers from University of Bologna, Italy, asked 720 herbalists what herbal remedy that they would recommend to those suffered from diabetes. They suggested ten herbal remedies and bitter melon is in the list. According to a review article, bitter melon has been recognized as a Chinese herbal medicine for diabetes mellitus for centuries. And, it is more popular in Asia to be used as a natural product for diabetes. Researchers from Natural Standard, MA, consider bitter melon an alternative therapy that has primarily been used for lowering blood glucose levels in patients with
diabetes mellitus. Components of bitter melon extract appear to have structural similarities to animal insulin. Bitter melon has been shown to have anti-viral and anti-neoplastic activities. Small trials have shown the moderate hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon juice, fruit or its dried powder.
What are other health benefits of bitter melon?
Boiled bitter melon extracts show anti-oxidant activities. Extracts from bitter melon (Momordica charantia, Cucurbitaceae) showed a significant difference in the free radical scavenging activity between the extract obtained by using cold maceration and that prepared by boiling the plant in the solvent under reflux, suggesting the chemical composition of the plant changed during the
heating process, leading to an increase in the amount of antioxidant components.
Bitter melon may also have benefits of lipid-lowering activities. Researchers have shown the hypolipidemic effect of dietary methanol fraction (BMMF) extracted from bitter melon (Koimidori variety), at the levels of 0.5% and 1.0%, in male golden Syrian hamsters. The results of another study have clearly shown that that bitter melon, especially Koimidori variety, exhibited a
potent liver triglyceride-lowering activity. The triglyceride lowering activity was furthermore confirmed by the dose-dependent reduction of hepatic triglyceride, resulting the lowest level in rats fed 3.0% supplementation.
Bitter melon extracts may provide benefits for cancers as they have shown anti-cancer activities in a study of Swiss albino mice. A significant decrease in tumor burden was observed in short and long-term treatment. Also, total tumor incidence reduced to 83.33% with 2.5% dose and 90.90% with 5% dose in short term treatment, while in long-term treatment tumor incidence decreased to 76.92% with 2.5% dose and 69.23% with 5% dose of bitter melon. Seed oil from bitter melon (Momordica charantia), which is rich in cis(c)9, trans(t)11, t13-conjugated linolenic acid, has been shown to inhibit the development of azoxymethane-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci. Seed oil
from bitter melon rich in t13-conjugated linolenic acid can suppress azoxymethane -induced colon carcinogenesis and the inhibition might be caused, in part, by modification of lipid composition in the colon and liver and/or increased expression of PPARgamma protein level in the colon mucosa.
