Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Sweet Broom) :
Not covered (AHP; KOM; PH2). According to old sources, amellin apparently does not cause blood sugar to drop below normal; reduction of both blood sugar and urine sugar occurs gradually. Amellin reportedly raises lowered alkali reserves in diabetics and reduces iron content of serum and of blood acetone bodies. Amellin prevents tissue wastage and promotes better utilization of dietary protein. Fat in adipose tissue is reduced by amellin administration. Amellin promotes healing (WOI). I do not find amellin on PubMed. Dry plants do not exhibit the antidiabetic properties (JFM; WOI) of the fresh plant juice. Eli Lily tests showed no antidiabetic properties (JFM). Perhaps the fresh juice should be analyzed anew.
