It diminishes the quantity of sugar in urine and it allays the unquenchable thirst in diabetes For non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM/type 2), as a mono-therapy in oral antidiabetic drugs and dietary supplements.

Pharmacology )
The ethanolic extract of the bark of Syzygium cumini was investigated for its anti-
inflammatory activity.The study demonstrated that the bark extract has a potent anti-inflammatory action against different phases of inflammation without any side effect on gastric mucosa. The antimicrobial activity of Syzygium cuminii leaves extract was evaluated. The hydroalcoholic extract was active against Candida krusei and against multi-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. The leaves have also a diuretic effect; no changes in sodium and potassium levels. The dried bark of Syzygium cumini as an anti-diabetic agent, using the oral glucose tolerance test, exhibit anti-hyperglycemic activities and shows significant decrease in blood glucose levels (BGLs). Jamun may have effect upon the regeneration of insulin producing cells in the pancreatic duct wall. Bark extract stimulates development of insulin positive cells from the pancreatic duct epithelial cells. The antiamnesic effects of extracts from Syzygium cumini on spatial memory impairments were studied. Results indicate that these extracts may exert anti-amnesic activity via inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and antioxidant mechanisms in the brain. Utilization of the fruit as a significant source of natural antioxidants is due to the presents of proanthocyanidins (PAC’s). Tannins extracted from the fruit showed a very good radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing/antioxidant power. Dosage Tincture: 1 - 3 ml daily.
