Jamun seed: a pinch, and tell your doctor
Jamun seeds are dried and ground into a powder that is traditionally taken in water. It is popular in diabetes conversations, but the proof in people is limited, and it is not a treatment. The danger is that it can add to the effect of diabetes medicine and push sugar too low.
Keep to a small pinch, at most a quarter teaspoon, and only if your doctor knows. Do not stop or change medicine because of it. Skip it in pregnancy and if you are due for surgery. Buy powder from a clean, trusted source.
