What Is Banaba, And Why Is It In Our Formula?

Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) is a flowering tree native to Southeast Asia, and its leaf extract is one of the more studied botanicals in the metabolic-support category — which is exactly why we included it.

What's Actually In It

Our formula uses Banaba Extract standardized to 1% corosolic acid, the compound most associated with the leaf's traditional use. Each capsule contains 25 mg.

Why It's Paired With Gymnema And Bitter Melon

Banaba, Gymnema, and Bitter Melon are three of the most widely recognized botanicals traditionally used together in connection with supporting blood sugar already within a normal range. We include all three rather than relying on just one.

Where It Fits In The Bigger Picture

Banaba is one piece of a 20-ingredient formula that also includes Cinnamon, Chromium, and several other metabolic-support nutrients — built as a system rather than a single-ingredient bet.

Worth Noting

Daily Value hasn't been established for Banaba or the rest of our botanical blend, which is standard for ingredients in this category. If you take medication, particularly for blood sugar, talk to your doctor before adding EvoSlim to your routine.
