Features:

Banaba leaf (Lagerstroemia speciosa L) leaves have been used in traditional medicine in the Philippines and India for diabetes and weight management.  The active component in banaba leaf is called corosolic acid.  Scientists are suggesting that this plant-derived corosolic acid is a diabetic drug of the future. 
Using medicine to help regulate diabetes has a tendency to provoke an undesirable immune response that leads to the production of antibodies. This causes deterioration of medicine usefulness to function correctly in metabolism.  Corosolic acid mimics the function of medicine but does not cause the production of these problematic autoantibodies.  While human studies still need to be done, animal studies and traditional use support a powerful use of this nutrient in the regulation of blood sugar.

Other research on corosolic acid shows that it may also help bones . In an animal study corosolic acid was found to help stimulate the formation of osteoblasts, the important bone building carpenter cells.  It is becoming more evident with each passing day that bone health and blood sugar metabolism are highly interdependent. 
Yet another study shows that corosolic acid can reduce inflammation in heart cells, preventing hypertrophy, a common problem in diabetes.  It did so by reducing the powerful inflammatory gene signal, NF-kappaB. 

Main Functions:
Balancing blood sugar, Anti-diabetic;
Losing weight;
Promote healthy kidney function and prevent cell membrane lipid oxidation.
Controlling appetite and food craving, especially carbohydrate cravings;
Anti-oxidant;
Corosolic Acid is believed to be beneficial in treating type 2 diabetes because it may possess the ability to reduce glucose levels.
