Bitter melon extract is produced from the fruit of Momordica charantia through aqueous-ethanol extraction and spray-drying. The extract contains key bioactive compounds including charantin, polypeptide-p (plant insulin), and vicine.
These compounds work synergistically to support healthy blood glucose metabolism through multiple mechanisms. Bitter melon extract also exhibits antioxidant, antimicrobial, and lipid-lowering properties. It is widely used in blood sugar management supplements, metabolic health nutraceuticals, and traditional herbal medicine formulations.
