Health & Wellness Benefits

Blood Sugar Management & Diabetes Support

Jackfruit leaves contain multiple compounds that work synergistically to lower blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthy glucose metabolism. Research shows significant benefits for type 2 diabetes management and prevention.
