ABSTRACT
A polyherbal concoction was tested on various organs derived cell lines to understand the glucose uptake and metabolism at laboratory level. The findings clearly show that the tested concoction has positively catalysed the glucose uptake and metabolism suggesting its limited value in protecting the organ damage due to hyperglycemia. Although the study was done in lab simulated cell culture model, how the concoction may act in complex system is not easy to predict based on our lab study. Nevertheless the concoction possess some positive value for the management of diabetic comorbidities but further intense research and double blind randomized clinical trial is required to establish the conclusive merit of the same. Details of the study are presented in the paper.
