The extract is derived form the seeds of Eugenia jambolana belonging to family Myrtaceae. Eugenia jambolana is commonly called as Jamun. In India Jambul has long been used as a carminative in diarrhoea, stomachic and astringent. No poisoning or other harmful effects have been reported. The saponins and alkaloidal constituents are mainly responsible for its pharmacological activity.
Scientific Evidence
Ethanol extract (20 and 40 mg/kg), chloroform extract (40 and 80 mg/kg) and aqueous extract (40 mg/kg) of leaves of [Eugenia jambolana] exhibited significant hypoglycaemic activity in normal and hyper-glycaemic rabbits. 20-30 Percent reduction in blood sugars of two volunteer patients (who consumed decoction of 6 or 12 g of the leaves) were also observed. Maximum reduction in blood sugars of human volunteers were observed after 2 hours of drug administration. Seed powder of Eugenia jambolana given in a dose of 12 gms daily in three divided doses for three months showed marked symptomatic relief, which progressively increased with the duration of treatment. Scientific studies have also reported its use as laxative and antibacterial and more
