Gurmar Leaves are the dried leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, a climbing plant whose Hindi name means "sugar destroyer". Chewing the leaves briefly blocks the taste of sweetness, and the herb has a long history in Ayurveda for blood sugar wellness.

Arizone International supplies Gurmar Leaves to herbal, Ayurvedic, food and nutraceutical manufacturers, traders, private label brands and bulk buyers. Grade, cut size, cleaning level, packaging and quantity can all be set to your specification.

What Is

Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climbing plant that grows in the forests of central and southern India. Its oval leaves are harvested, dried in the shade and sorted. When chewed, compounds in the leaves temporarily stop the tongue from tasting sweet foods.

The leaves contain gymnemic acids, a group of triterpenoid saponins that are used to standardise Gurmar products. The leaves are used as powder, in teas and churnas, and as the raw material for Gymnema extract.

After harvest, the material is dried in the sun or shade, then cleaned to remove stones, dust, stems and other foreign matter, and sorted by size and quality. It can be supplied whole, cut into smaller pieces for tea and extraction, or milled into coarse or fine powder. For food and ready-to-use products, steam sterilisation can be arranged to bring microbial counts within export limits.

Formulation, dosage, safety assessment, labelling and permitted claims of the finished product must comply with the regulations of the intended market. Gurmar may lower blood sugar, so people taking diabetes medicines should consult their doctor, and it is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

  • Heavy metals, microbiology and pesticide residues where applicable

Tips for Buyers and Formulators

Ask for gymnemic acid content, and check the test method, as gravimetric and HPLC methods give different figures.

Gurmar is often wild-collected, so ask about legal and sustainable sourcing.

Gurmar leaf powder is commonly milled to 60 to 80 mesh for capsules and churnas, while cut leaves suit herbal teas. It blends well with jamun seed, bitter gourd, fenugreek and cinnamon in traditional blood sugar support blends. Store the leaves sealed and away from moisture.
