  3. What is the Ampalaya?

    The name 'Ampalaya' refers to both the Bitter Melon plant and its fruit. It is a nutritious gourd-like vegetable abundantly found in Asia. It is rich in iron, potassium and beta-carotene as well as a host of other nutrients that help boosts the body's immune system. It is also prized as a vegetable and is commonly used in many Asian dishes. For generations, the Ampalaya has been used as a traditional home remedy by natural healers and alternative health practitioners.

    Research from all over the world has confirmed the Ampalaya's health benefits, identifying several key compounds such as charantin, vicine and a plant insulin called polypeptide-p.

  4. What is the basis of Charantea's claim of helping to promote healthy blood sugar levels?

    First, the Ampalaya has been traditionally used as a home remedy to help promote healthy blood sugar levels for many generations in Asia and other parts of the world. Second, this folkloric experience is substantiated by over 200 pre-clinical and clinical studies conducted worldwide over the past four decades, studies available to the public at www.pubmed.gov. Scientists and researchers have identified compounds in the Bitter Melon believed to be responsible for its healthy benefits. These compounds are charantin, vicine, peptides and polypeptide-p (a plant insulin).

  5. When should I take Charantea?

    It is best to take Charantea after meals when your body
    is digesting food and naturally takes in blood sugar.
    Taken as a tea, Charantea is a great alternative to coffee
    or traditional teas, giving you a warm, soothing and cleansing
    after eating. If you're on the go, Charantea capsules offers
    a simple, more convenient alternative.

  6. How do you prepare Charantea Ampalaya Tea?

    Preparing Charantea is similar to how you would prepare other traditional teas in tea bags. Simply pour freshly boiled water over a tea bag and let stand for 3-4 minutes. Enjoy hot as a simple traditional tea, or over ice as a cool drink. Add flavor with a twist of lime and some sweetener.

  7. Is Charantea right for me?

    As a dietary supplement, Charantea is intended to fortify the low-fat, high-fiber diet recommended by doctors to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. We highly recommend Charantea for those who are concerned with maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.

  8. What is the recommended daily dosage for Charantea?

    Based on limited clinical trials, We recommend drinking three cups of Charantea daily, one cup after every meal. This is approximately 3 grams of Bitter Melon per day.

    For those who prefer the convenience of capsules, two 500mg capsules after each meal (for a total of six capsules a day) would result in the same recommended 3 grams per day since each capsule contain 500mg or half a gram.

    As blood sugar levels greatly depend on the individual's lifestyle and diet, results may vary. Charantea is best used in conjunction with a proper diet and regular exercise. For users who have better control of their lifestyle and diet, the recommended usage level of 3grams per day may be reduced to 1 to 2 grams daily, depending on each person's health and lifestyle.

  9. How long before I experience the health benefits of Charantea?

    Charantea is not a drug and will not work for you overnight.

    As an all-natural dietary supplement, Charantea works best when taken regularly with your dietitian-recommended low-fat, high-fiber diet. It is important to realize that results may vary according to your lifestyle and diet.

    Unlike other dietary supplements, you can actually measure whether Charantea is working for you or not. You will see the results for yourself when you check your blood sugar level.

    Many users have reported an improvement in their blood sugar levels and experiencing a sense of well-being after just a week of regular use. Others reported noticeable improvement after 2-4 weeks of adding Charantea to their diet. If you are a first-time user, we strongly advise that you follow our recommended dosage for one month before concluding whether Charantea is helpful to you or not.
