【Task】 An α-glucosidase inhibitor suppresses the metabolism of carbohydrates in animals including humans, and thus has an effect of suppressing an increase in blood sugar as an example. As a result, it is effective for the prevention and treatment of hyperglycemia symptoms and obesity, adiposity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes caused by hyperglycemia. Many α-glucosidase inhibitors have been developed so far, but those derived from plants have not been sufficiently put into practical use in foods and drinks, pharmaceuticals and quasi drugs. An object of the present invention is to provide a plant-derived α-glucosidase inhibitor that can be prevented and improved by obesity and diabetes by being eaten daily, and that is effective and safe. The above-mentioned problems are solved by containing an extract of amla. [Selection figure] None |
