I have taken Swanson , Bitter Melon , 500mg , for a month and it has helped , (I think) as I have also lost weight. (approx 7 lbs ) . I got a bit dizzy / light headed / headache recently so cut down the Bitter Melon ( Before which I cut down my 1 caffeine coffee a day etc to rule out which) . I am Pre diabetic but sometimes my BG goes up in the high 7's .
The first thing my blood did was to go up again (liver dump came back) . Today 6.0 2hrs after Brekkie .
I have seemed to have reacted to the Bitter Melon Capsules (I am on a lot of Blood Pressure Meds) .
My BP has been OK sometimes lower during this , so watch out when you take the capsules . I wonder if the capsules also have caffeine in them / guarana? or maybe I got them from a bad source?
