Introduction

Banaba extract comes from the leaf of Lagerstroemia Speciosa. The main active ingredient is corosolic acid,a terpenoid compound known to stimulate glucose transport across cell membranes. Leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa have been used as a folk medicine for treatment of diabetes and kidney diseases.
