Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is used in the traditional Ayurvedic form of medicine from India for lowering blood sugar levels. Research has also found that bitter melon extracts may be beneficial in cancer therapies. MAP30, a protein isolated from bitter melon extract, is reported to possess anti-cancer effects in laboratory studies. Potential anti-cancer effects have not been studied appropriately in humans. Caution is advised when taking bitter melon supplements, as numerous adverse effects including blood sugar-lowering and drug interactions are possible. Bitter melon should not be used if the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, unless otherwise directed by a doctor.
