Health Benefits of Bitter Melon


This fruit contains antiviral, anti fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Over one hundred clinical and observational studies have been done on bitter melon. It can reduce blood sugar levels and it is used as an herbal remedy for type 2 diabetes. This benefit comes from the juice of unripened fruit.  It is rich in vitamins and minerals.

Bitter melon contain vitamin A, C, vitamin B, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and pyridoxine. As well as minerals such as zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper, potassium and large amount of iron and calcium and also flavonoids such as beta carotene and lutein.

Recent research shows that the plant may be a powerful natural cancer cure. Tests done on mice revealed tumors shrank by 64 percent. Bitter melon extract can help to prevent breast cancer. Research found that bitter melon slowed cell growth and division and caused breast cancer cells to self-destruct.

Research of bitter melon juice found that it provided a two-way attack by inducing cell death and starving cancer cells of the sugar they need to survive. Compounds in bitter melon might also be effective for treating HIV infection.
