Gymnema sylvestre extract

Gymnema sylvestre extract (CAS 90045-47-9) is a botanical ingredient derived from the leaves of the Gymnema sylvestre plant, commercially recognized under the alternate spelling Gymnema silvestre.

It is primarily sourced for its gymnemic acid content, which temporarily suppresses sweet taste perception and supports blood sugar management applications in functional food and supplement formulations.

In dietary supplements, it is standardized to gymnemic acid levels and formulated into capsules, tablets, and powders targeting glucose metabolism and appetite control for various consumer health needs.

Food and beverage manufacturers incorporate it into functional products such as sugar-reduction confectionery, low-calorie drinks, and flavor-modifying systems where its taste-blocking properties reduce perceived sweetness.

Nutraceutical formulators use it in combination products alongside chromium, berberine, or cinnamon extract for metabolic health blends. Pharmaceutical-grade material is evaluated for use in OTC wellness formulations.

Gymnema sylvestre extract is supplied as a dry powder, typically standardized to 25%, 75%, or 25% gymnemic acids by HPLC. Both food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are available for global supply.

Material is often tested to USP or in-house botanical monograph standards to ensure purity and potency. Bulk supply is available in kilogram and metric ton quantities for industrial manufacturing.
