An animal study reported in the edition of February 2011 of ‘International Journal of Molecular Sciences’ observed that extracts of the fruit displayed significant hypoglycemic effect in rats put on sucrose. Results are encouraging and further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of the fruit extract in reducing blood sugar. Improves Vision
