Bitter melon (Momordica charantia), also known as bitter gourd or Goya, is a tropical fruit recognized for its distinct bumpy texture and naturally bitter taste. Traditionally used in wellness practices across Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, bitter melon has gained attention for its nutritional and functional properties.

It contains naturally occurring compounds such as charantin and Polypeptide-P, which have been studied for their role in supporting healthy blood sugar metabolism.

Bitter melon is also a source of vitamin C, β-carotene, potassium, and other essential nutrients that may help support cardiovascular health, immune function, digestive comfort, and antioxidant activity.

Take 5 tablets (1 gram) daily with water, preferably before meals, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
