Ingredients explained
Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract (25% gymnemic acids)
Gymnemic acids may bind to sweet taste receptors on the tongue and interact with intestinal glucose transporters, which may reduce sweetness perception and support balanced sugar absorption.
Caution: May affect how sweet foods taste and influence sugar intake; monitor overall diet habits and avoid use if sensitive to changes in appetite.
Chromium (GTF polynicotinate and picolinate)
Chromium is a trace mineral that helps insulin work effectively at the cellular level, which may support normal carbohydrate metabolism.
Caution: High intakes may upset the stomach in some people; consult a professional if using other products that affect blood sugar.
Grapefruit pectin complex (≈37% pectin)
Pectin is a soluble fibre that forms a gel in the gut, which may slow carbohydrate absorption and support feelings of fullness.
Caution: May cause gas or bloating if fibre intake is low; increase water intake to support comfortable digestion.
Pullulan
Pullulan is a polysaccharide that may interact with taste perception and contribute soluble fibre effects in the gut.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals; take with adequate water.
How they work together
Gymnema targets sweet taste receptors and intestinal glucose handling, while chromium supports insulin’s role in carbohydrate metabolism. Grapefruit pectin and pullulan add soluble fibre that may slow sugar absorption and promote satiety, complementing the taste and metabolic actions.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Gymnema Sylvestre Complex
The roots and leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, a climbing vine-like plant, have been used for thousands of years in India. Gurmar, the Hindi name for this herb, means “destroyer of sugar” because it suppresses the sweet taste of sugar (i.e., sweet foods no longer taste sweet). Several forms of gymnemic acid have been identified as the anti-sweet principles of this valuable botanical. Source Naturals Sugar Ban™ also contains pullulan, an extract of Zizyphus jujuba, which also reduces the human perception of sweet taste. Additional supportive nutrients include grapefruit pectin and the mineral chromium.
