A groundbreaking clinical trial has revealed that consuming Mankai after meals can significantly reduce blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes.
Mankai is a nutrient-dense, aquatic plant from the duckweed family rich in protein, dietary fibre, antioxidants, and essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids.
The study found that Mankai’s ability to lower blood sugar is comparable to that of some medications used for diabetes management.
For those living with type 2 diabetes, high blood sugar levels after meals present serious health risks, often exacerbated by insulin resistance, which diminishes insulin’s effectiveness in muscles and the liver.
Persistent high blood sugar can lead to damage in blood vessels, affect the peripheral nervous system, and increase the risk of severe complications such as heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, blindness, and reduced sensation in the extremities.
