What is the purpose of dried bitter melon and bitter melon powder? Where can I get it?
In fact, the bitter melon dry and bitter melon powder effect is similar If the bitter melon dry buy convenient if you can try the bitter melon dry. Bitter melon powder can be on Taobao to buy, if in Beijing, then you can go on the Dashilan Tong Ren Tang General Store, the first floor to buy (is a little expensive) You can also look on the drugstore may have. Pure Bitter Melon Powder Functions: weight loss, detoxification Bitter melon, because of the bitter name, also known as cold melon. Bitter melon is rich in vitamins B, C, calcium, iron, etc. Li Shizhen said that the bitter melon has the effect of removing the evil heat and solving the lack of labor, refreshing and bright eyes, and benefit the efficacy of the qi and yang. Specialty weight loss products also continue to appear, but the footsteps of obesity has never stopped. Do you know that a bitter melon contains 0.4% of the weight loss special effects of ingredients such as gold ---- high-energy lipids a day to eat a few bitter melon, no matter how you fish and meat, how to sleep, will not get fat. In 1998, Dr. Kerry from the United States extracted from the bitter melon is very bioactive ingredients --- high-energy lipids. Pharmacological studies have confirmed that the high energy lipotropin does not enter the human blood, only in the human body to absorb fat in the important parts of the small intestine, by changing the intestinal cell mesh, preventing fat, polysaccharide and other high-calorie macromolecules absorption, thereby accelerating the absorption of small molecules of nutrients in the body, and does not participate in the metabolism of the human body, so there is no any toxic side effects. Experiments have proved that: if you take 1 milligram of high-energy lipids every day, you can prevent the absorption of about 100 grams of fat and make your waistline as much as 2 millimeters thinner. ........... If you take [High Energy Lipotropic] 2-4 mg per day, then after 30 days, the most conservative estimate is that: 12-24 pounds of fat in the food eaten is not absorbed by the body, and 6-14 of the fat stored in the waist, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, etc. is broken down. Raw bitter melon makes it difficult to swallow, and many people are unable to stick to it. The natural weight loss bitter melon powder is through the low-temperature vacuum dehydration technology, the bitter melon in 0.4% of the weight loss effect of the ingredients - high-energy lipids intact. The weight loss effect is as high as 96% or more, is no side effects, all-natural excellent weight loss food. Consumption method: 10-20 grams of bitter melon powder, 200 ml of warm water, directly, once a day half an hour after lunch and dinner. The effect is obvious after one month. Especially for white-collar gentlemen and ladies who sit in the office for a long time? The accumulation of fat in the abdomen and legs, with little exercise, the success rate of bitter melon powder weight loss is as high as 99%. Bitter melon is a vegetable we often eat, it belongs to the cucurbitaceae bitter melon plants, bitter and cold in nature, with a cool relief of heat, nourishing and strong and other effects. But because it is very bitter flavor, many people in the north do not like to eat bitter melon. In fact, bitter melon is rich in bioactive ingredients with the role of lowering blood sugar, regulating enzyme activity, anti-tumor and anti-virus, etc. At present, scientists have been purified and confirmed that the components of bitter melon lectin, bitter melon, ribosome inactivation protein, putrescine, carotene, stanols, MAP 30 proteins, P proteins and so on. In this paper, we introduce the health effects of bitter melon in hypoglycemia, anti-tumor and anti-virus. I. Hypoglycemic effect Studies have found that bitter melon can not only significantly reduce the level of blood glucose after fasting, but also significantly reduce the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the liver. Further studies observed that the hypoglycemic effect of extracts from different parts of bitter melon varied, and the hypoglycemic effect on insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was also different. Among them, the hypoglycemic effect of the rind extract of bitter melon was more pronounced, leading to a 36% reduction in postprandial blood glucose. The extracts of seeds, whole fruit and whole fruit desaponin of bitter melon had no significant effect on the blood glucose level of fasting and postprandial insulin-dependent diabetic rats, whereas the bitter melon juice could significantly reduce the blood glucose level of non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats after fasting and decrease their postprandial glucose level by 50%, which indicated that the bitter melon juice had a more obvious hypoglycemic effect. The study also showed that oral administration of acetone extract of bitter melon whole fruit for 15-30 days, blood glucose and serum cholesterol can be reduced to normal level, and even after stopping the administration of bitter melon extract for 15 days, the blood glucose level didn't increase, which indicates that the hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon extract is relatively stable and long-lasting. The results of experiments comparing bitter melon fruit extract and common hypoglycemic drugs show that the drug-induced diabetic rats are given 500 mg dose of bitter melon fruit extract per kilogram of body weight, and the blood essence level is reduced by 10% to 15% one hour after meal, which is equivalent to 25% to 30% of the hypoglycemic effect of the same dose of tosylate sulfonylurea, or equivalent to 40% of the hypoglycemic effect of 100 mg of tosylate sulfonylurea per dry gram of body weight. The effect is equivalent to 25% to 30% of the effect of the same dose of metformin, or 40% of the effect of 100 mg of metformin per dry gram of body weight. When comparing the hypoglycemic effect with metformin, it was found that metformin reduced the blood glucose level of diabetic model rats by 40% to 50% at 1 hour, 2 hours and 3.5 hours after meal, although the hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon extract was lower than that of metformin, but it also reduced the blood glucose significantly by 26% at 3.5 hours after meal. In addition, the crowd study shows that the putu juice can make 73% of diabetic patients glucose tolerance. It can be seen that bitter melon, as a natural food, has a very good hypoglycemic effect. Early, people had thought that the mechanism of lowering blood sugar of bitter melon may be related to the ability of pancreatic islets to secrete insulin, because in vitro experiments have confirmed that bitter melon can stimulate the B cells of pancreatic islets to secrete insulin. However, the results of later animal experiments showed that bitter melon did not affect insulin secretion, although the number of pancreatic islet B cells increased significantly at this time. These findings suggest that, although bitter melon juice may contribute to the recovery and renewal of pancreatic islet B cells in diabetic patients, the hypoglycemic effect of bitter melon may not be mainly through the regulation of insulin secretion but through other pathways. A protein, called P protein, has been obtained from bitter melon fruits and seeds and found to inhibit lipolysis in hamsters. and promote fat synthesis from glucose. Later, it was found that bitter melon fruit extract could increase the rate of glucose synthesis of glycogen in rats by 4 to 5 times, and although the content of glycogen in liver and muscle tissues increased markedly at this time, the content of triglycerides in adipose tissues was unaffected. All these evidences suggest that one of the mechanisms of hypoglycemia in bitter melon ... may be the storage of blood glucose synthesized glycogen. In normal rats and drug-induced diabetic rats, bitter melon extract was given after fasting for l 8 hours, and after 90 minutes the m-glucose levels of the two groups of animals decreased by 23% and 27%, respectively. The activities of enzymes related to glucose synthesis in the livers of the normal rats decreased by only about 20%, whereas those of the diabetic group decreased by more than 30%, and the activities of enzymes related to glucose oxidation in the erythrocytes and the livers were significantly elevated. Accordingly, it is speculated that the mechanism of hypoglycemia of bitter melon extract may be: on the one hand, through the inhibition of glucose synthesis of key enzymes to reduce glucose synthesis, on the other hand, through the activation of the basic enzymes of the oxidative metabolic pathway of glucose substances to enhance glucose oxidation. Second, anti-tumor effect As early as 1982, scientists have found that the crude extract of bitter melon has the function of enhancing the body's immunity and anti-tumor effect. Whether given bitter melon juice or bitter melon extract, can significantly enhance the level of serum hemagglutinating antibodies, serum lysozyme content and phagocytosis of blood leukocytes in mice, enhancement of body immune function. This may be one of the reasons for the anti-tumor effect of bitter melon crude extract. Many people consume bitter melon, in order to net peeled to eat, in fact, this is not scientific. The study found that although the bitter melon fruit extract has anti-mouse papilloma effect, seems to be its different parts of the extract of different effects. Scientists compare the anti-tumor efficacy of bitter melon skin, pulp, seeds, whole fruit extracts of local treatment found that the bitter melon skin has the best effect, followed by the whole fruit, seeds, pulp. As bitter melon can increase the level of antioxidant substances and antioxidant enzyme activity in liver and skin tissues, which suggests that changes in the activity of biotransformation system enzymes may be another reason for the anti-tumor effect of bitter melon. Third, antiviral effect Bitter melon fruit also has anti-leukemia and antiviral function, which is related to lymphocytes. A kind of protein factor purified from bitter melon can produce activation effect on mouse peritoneal exudate cells, so that the peritoneal exudate cells on a variety of tumor cells have long or short-lasting killing activity. In addition, scientists purified a new protein, MAP30, from bitter melon fruit and seeds, which has an anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, i.e., eclampsia virus) effect. Researchers will be human lung fibroblasts cultured in culture medium containing MAP30, inoculated with herpes simplex virus 24 to 48 hours after the detection of viral antigens found that only 0.1 to 0.2 micromole/liter of MAP30 can produce effective inhibition of the virus, and acyclovir (a Changchuan anti-herpes simplex virus drugs) on different types of herpes simplex virus to produce effective inhibitory concentrations of 0.2 micromole/liter and 1.6 micromole/liter of MAP30. This indicates that MAP30 is highly effective in treating herpes infections because of its efficient antiviral function. In addition, bitter melon extract inhibits the surface activity of HIV and selectively kills HIV-infected lymphocytes and macrophages. Compared with anti-HIV drugs such as acyclovir, the biggest advantage of MAP30 is that it is effective against a wide range of viruses and tumor cells, while it is non-toxic to uninfected normal cells such as T-cells, macrophages, and monocytes, as well as renal cells, hepatocytes, neuronal cells, skin cells, and human embryonic cells. The use of MAP30 with dexamethasone and indomethacin (anti-inflammatory pain)*** significantly enhanced the anti-HIV effect, suggesting that there is a synergistic effect between them and that this effect may be due to the fact that MAP30 regulates HIV replication by working with steroidal or non-peritoneal alcohol inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis. This also suggests that the mechanism of MAP30's antiviral activity is complex and its function may be multifaceted. Scientists also obtained a protein from mature bitter melon fruits and seeds, the structure is similar to MAP30, named MRK29, which can inhibit 50% of HIV-l reverse transcriptase activity at 18 micrograms / ml, and can reduce the synthesis of viral core protein by 82% in HIV-l infected cells at 0.175 micrograms / ml. The synthesis of viral core protein in HIV-l infected cells was reduced by 82% at 0.175 μg/mL. Unlike MAP30, MRK29 also has an immune cell regulatory effect, which can make the tumor necrosis factor activity enhanced threefold. It can be seen, bitter melon can lower blood sugar, but also anti-tumor and anti-virus, is a set of medicinal and edible for a high nutritional value of vegetables, long-term consumption of diabetic patients, oncology patients and the weak have a better health effect, we recommend that we often eat this vegetable
