Excerpts from AMHOP's reiteration of their official endorsement of Charantia, January 2003

"Our experience in using Charantia shows that it is consistent in helping control our patients' blood sugar and improve their general well-being."

"The consistent good results we got substantiated the clinical trial results, and since then, AMHOP members have made this product an integral part of their diabetic patients' daily regimen."

Charantia Ampalaya Tea: Nature's gift to diabetics.

"Ampalaya fruit prepared as a tea is well- tolerated and may be a useful dietary adjunct in the treatment of
type-2 diabetes. It has minor gastrointestinal side effects of increased bowel frequency but beneficial to those diabetic patients who are constipated."
R. Rosales, MD and R. Fernando, MD

An inquiry into the Hypoglycemic Action of Momordica Charantia among type-2 diabetic patients Philippine Journal of Internal Medicine, 39:213-216, July-August 2001

Now you can enjoy the Ampalaya's blood-sugar lowering benefits in a pleasant-tasting tea.

While science has proven that Ampalaya contains anti-diabetic properties, transforming the raw fruits into a finished product may alter or diminish the plant’s benefit through the manufacturing process. This study, which used Charantia itself as the tea in subjects, confirms that our product has preserved Ampalaya’s health benefits. Every time you drink Charantia, rest assured you are taking in 100% Ampalaya goodness.

Perhps the only food supplement in the world to be endorsed by a national organization of doctors

The Association of Municipal Health Officers of the Philippines AMHOP) -composed of over 1,500 doctors running the country's network of public health centers-officially endorses Charantia as a food supplement for the control of blood sugar levels. The endorsement came from their actual clinical experience of consistent positive results from patients using the product regularly. By adding Charantia to the diet, patients' blood sugar levels stabilized and glucose tolerance improved, to the point that medication could safely be reduced. As a measure of prevention, many doctors also recommend the regular use of Charantia to persons at risk of becoming diabetics.
