Karela Tablets deliver pure bitter melon, Momordica charantia, in a convenient 500mg tablet. Known across India as Karela and in Sanskrit as Karavellaka, this intensely bitter gourd has been valued in Ayurveda for centuries, particularly for the metabolism, earning the traditional nickname of the "bitter gourd that destroys sweetness".
Ayurvedic Significance
In Ayurveda, disturbed sweet metabolism is understood within the framework of Prameha, a family of conditions rooted in aggravated Kapha with excess Meda (fat) and Kleda (moisture) obstructing the channels. Karela is one of the classical herbs for this pattern. Its predominantly bitter (Tikta) taste is strongly Kapha-pacifying and Lekhana (scraping), helping to kindle Agni, clear Ama and support the body's natural handling of sweet metabolism. As a bitter, it is also traditionally valued for the liver (the seat of Pitta) and for cleansing the Rakta (blood) dhatu.

- Sweet metabolism support: Traditionally used to support the body's natural handling of sweet metabolism.
- Liver support: Valued as a bitter herb for the liver, the seat of Pitta.
- Kapha and Meda balance: The bitter gourd helps settle aggravated Kapha and excess Meda.
- Blood cleansing: Traditionally regarded as a cleanser of the Rakta dhatu.
