In some ways, Karela extract acts like insulin that the body produces naturally. Studies have shown that bitter melon extract helps to significantly lower blood glucose levels. It did this by helping cells to take up more glucose from the blood as needed. It is regarded as a regulator of glucose metabolism.

The main constituents of bitter melon which are responsible for the antidiabetic effects are triterpene, proteid, steroid, alkaloid, inorganic, lipid, and phenolic compounds
