Dahlia flower extract and Type 2 Diabetes

Researchers at the University of Otago, New Zealand, have discovered that three compounds found in the dahlia flower work together to reduce the effects of both Type 2 Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes, often known as ‘insulin resistance’.

The Dahlia flower extract works by lowering inflammation in the hypothalamus of the brain. This has the effect of making the insulin you have more effective – in both mice and a small cohort [13] of human subjects. And there were no harmful side-effects, in either the mice or the humans!

You can find the complete details in this New Atlas article.

If further research validates these findings, and the relevant compounds can be extracted and sold commercially, the Dahlia could end up becoming one mankind’s prettiest saviours.
