Gudmar in Hindi and on a botanical label

Gudmar is written गुड़मार in Hindi. The botanical name is Gymnema sylvestre. You may see the Hindi name on one pack and the botanical name on another.

Find the name, then look for the form

On a pack, start with the ingredient list. If it says leaf, powder or extract, write that down alongside the name. When you look at research, check that it studied the same plant part and preparation.

For example, a paper may name the species and describe a leaf extract, while a product lists a blend of several herbs. Write down the plant name, form and amount if the label gives it. If a detail is missing, ask for the current ingredient panel or take a photo to the pharmacist so they can see the wording you are reading.

Herbal powder or extract: what the label should tell you

Ask a question the label can answer

Try asking “Does the current pack list Gudmar as leaf, powder or extract?” If you are comparing two products, ask for the ingredient panel of each so you can read the exact wording.

The product team can help you find the pack details to take with you.
