Leros Balanced Sugar 20 × 1 g

This herbal tea contains blueberry leaves and gymnema leaf, which help to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Myrtillin, found in ordinary-looking blueberry leaves, is nicknamed 'plant insulin'. Gymnema sylvestre has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. This vine, which grows up to 8 metres tall, is also known as gurmar, which literally translates as 'destroyer of sweet taste'.

Adults:

Do not exceed the recommended dosage. The recommended duration of use is 3 weeks. The course can be repeated after 2 weeks.

Taste and Aroma

The taste of the tea is dominated by pleasant rooibos, which also gives the drink its dark orange colour, and liquorice with a delicious aniseed hint. The other herbs give the tea a subtle herbal aroma, in which you may recognise the spicy scent of sage or the slightly woody touch of goat's rue.
