Abstract
Each constituent plant contributes a distinct pharmacological mechanism: Passiflora edulis leaves provide orientin, vitexin, and chrysin that exhibit insulin mimetic and beta-cell protective activity; Coccinia grandis supplies cucurbitacins and flavonoids that inhibit hepatic glucose output and enhance peripheral glucose utilization; and Nigella sativa contributes thymoquinone, which is renowned for its insulin-sensitizing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Together, these phytochemicals form a synergistic matrix targeting multiple nodes of glucose dysregulation, making GLUCONOVA a promising candidate for precision glycemic homeostasis.
