Special-Tea
is made from 50% leaves & 50% fruits from bitter melon plant known as
Momordica Charantia(scientific name) to maximize the benefits of an isolated
property known as protein called MAP30, that was patented by American scientists
in 1996. These scientists stated that
MAP30 is effective against tumor, HIV, Aids and other viruses related to blood
diseases. It has been proposed to have
hypoglycemic, antiviral, and antineoplastic activities. Some components are structurally similar to
animal insulin, and preliminary studies suggest that may decrease hepatic
gluconeogenesis, increase hepatic glycogen synthesis, and increase peripheral
glucose oxidation in erythrocytes and adipocytes. One mechanism for the hypoglycemic activity is an increase in
beta-cell production in the pancreas.
Each tea bag
contains 2 grams of exotic wild and farmed (cultivated) bitter melon freshly
harvested and naturally grown without the use of fertilizers or
pesticides. It is 100% all natural
ingredients, caffeine free and no preservatives.
