September 1, 2017 updated by: Composite Interceptive Med Science

Control of Glycemic Variability Using a Polyherbal: A Randomized Placebo Controlled Study of Whole Herb Formulations

The aim of the study is to get insight into control of glycemic variability with Sugar Balance capsules which is the leaves of three herbs: ivy ground (Coccinia indica)-200mg, bougainvillia (Bougainvillea spectabilis)-30mg, Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus rosea)-20mg.
