Overview Information
Bitter melon is a vegetable used in India and other Asian countries. The fruit and seeds are used to make medicine.

People use bitter melon for diabetes, stomach, and intestinal problems, to promote menstruation, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

How does it work?
Bitter melon contains a chemical that acts like insulin to help reduce blood sugar levels.

Uses & Effectiveness?
Insufficient Evidence for

Diabetes. Research is conflicting and inconclusive. Some research shows that taking bitter melon can reduce blood sugar levels and lower HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control over time) in people with type 2 diabetes. But these studies have some flaws, and not all research agrees. Higher-quality studies are needed.
Prediabetes. Early research shows that bitter melon does not reduce blood sugar in people with prediabetes.
HIV/AIDS.
Kidney stones.
Liver disease.
Psoriasis.
Skin abscesses and wounds.
Stomach and intestinal disorders.
Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of bitter melon for these uses.

Side Effects & Safety
Bitter melon is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth short-term (up to 3 months). Bitter melon may cause an upset stomach in some people. The safety of long-term use of bitter melon is not known. There also is not enough information about the safety of applying bitter melon directly to the skin.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Bitter melon is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth during pregnancy. Certain chemicals in bitter melon might start menstrual bleeding and have caused abortion in animals. Not enough is known about the safety of using bitter melon during breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Diabetes: Bitter melon can lower blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes and take medications to lower your blood sugar, adding bitter melon might make your blood sugar drop too low. Monitor your blood sugar carefully.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency: People with G6PD deficiency might develop “favism” after eating bitter melon seeds. Favism is a condition named after the fava bean, which is thought to cause “tired blood” (anemia), headache, fever, stomach pain, and coma in certain people. A chemical found in bitter melon seeds is related to chemicals in fava beans. If you have G6PD deficiency, avoid bitter melon.

Surgery: There is a concern that bitter melon might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop using bitter melon at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Dosing
The appropriate dose of bitter melon depends on several factors such as the user’s age, health, and several other conditions. At this time, there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for bitter melon. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or another healthcare professional before using it.
