Herbal drug BGR-34 beats obesity, diabetes: AIMS study
The research team reached this conclusion following a study spanning three years.
According to a team of doctors from AIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), the anti-diabetic Ayurveda drug BGR-34 is effective in cutting down obesity along with improving the metabolism mechanisms of the patient afflicted with chronic disease.
The team (led by Sudhir Chandra Sarangi, Additional Professor, Department of Pharmacology AIMS) reached this conclusion following a study spanning three years.
The drug comprises a range of ingredients from medicinal plants. It has been developed after intensive research by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and is being marketed by AIMIL Pharmaceuticals.
About the study and findings
In the study, the researchers aimed to investigate whether BGR-34 was effective on its own or along with other osteopathy drugs and if yes then at what level.
The researchers found that the herbal drug was enough not only in reduction of fasting blood sugar through modulation of the hormonal profile along with a significant body weight reduction but there were other benefits also.
The drug also modulates hormonal profile, lipid profile, and triglyceride level while bringing down lepton mark which is effective in controlling fat. Triglyceride in excess quantity is harmful to health as it is bad cholesterol.
Similarly, a controlled lipid profile keeps heart diseases at bay while disturbance in the hormonal profile can result in poor sleep. In contrast, modulation of the hormonal profile was found to be significant, resulting in increased insulin levels.
