In Immority EvenOn, gymnema extract is 10.0% of the formula on the label, standardised to 25% gymnemic acid, and mulberry leaf extract is 6.0%, standardised to 5% DNJ.
Here is every EvenOn ingredient as printed on the label, what each core botanical does and the study behind it. The studies were done on the single ingredients, not on EvenOn itself.
Immority EvenOn is a blood sugar balance drink from Immority, a Wellous brand. One 5 g sachet a day, stirred into water with your main meal, gives you 11 botanicals led by gymnema (25% gymnemic acid) and mulberry leaf (5% DNJ). It is halal (JAKIM) and classified as a food product by Malaysia’s NPRA.

What are the 11 botanicals in EvenOn?
The flyer counts 11 curated botanicals: five core actives that do the blood sugar work, and six greens. Most of the actives are standardised extracts, made to a set level of their key compound:
- Gymnema sylvestre extract, standardised to 25% gymnemic acid
- Mulberry leaf extract, standardised to 5% 1-DNJ (1-deoxynojirimycin)
- Bitter melon extract, with Polypeptide-K, an insulin-like peptide
- Banaba leaf extract, standardised to be rich in corosolic acid
- Grape seed extract, with standardised OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins)
- Six greens: barley grass, wheatgrass, celery, green apple, spinach and kale
The flyer says the greens supply the trace nutrients that high-carb eating out lacks most: the gaps in mamak suppers, nasi campur and kuih.
What does each core botanical do?
Each has its own job, from your tongue to your smallest blood vessels.
Gymnema sylvestre: the sugar destroyer
Its name comes from “gurmar”, the sugar destroyer in Hindi. Gymnemic acid dulls the sweet receptors (T1R2 and T1R3) to cut cravings at the source, occupies the sugar absorption sites first, and acts on the beta cells to support insulin release. It works at both ends: the brain that wants sugar and the pancreas that makes insulin. More: gymnema sylvestre and sugar cravings.
Mulberry leaf: flattens the after-meal peak
Its active 1-DNJ blocks the enzymes that break carbs into sugar, slows sugar absorption, flattens the after-meal peak and supports the body’s own GLP-1 response. Its flavonoids protect the beta cells as strong antioxidants, and its polyphenols and alkaloids raise insulin sensitivity. Full guide in Chinese: 桑叶与血糖（中文版）.
Bitter melon: an insulin-like peptide
This is the peria Malaysians already trust, in the form of Polypeptide-K, a peptide that works like insulin to move glucose into cells. It binds and activates the body’s insulin receptors, slows sugar absorption in the gut and protects the beta cells from oxidative stress.
Banaba leaf: the “plant insulin”
Its corosolic acid is called “plant insulin” because its molecular mechanism resembles insulin. It slows the gut enzyme sucrase, curbs the liver’s sugar production overnight to improve morning fasting numbers, and promotes GLUT4 translocation so muscles take up sugar faster. More on both: peria katak dan banaba (in Bahasa Malaysia).
Grape seed: the vessel guard
Grape seed plays the vessel-protection role. Its OPCs neutralise the free radicals that high sugar creates, protect the small blood vessels of the eyes, kidneys and nerves, and curb the formation of AGEs (advanced glycation end products) as a strong anti-glycation agent. More: grape seed extract benefits.
What do the studies on each ingredient show?
The studies were done on the ingredients, not on EvenOn. Key results, each with its study:
- Gymnema sylvestre: 25% gymnemic acid; cuts cravings and supports insulin release; 2-hour after-meal sugar 22% lower in 90 days (Kumar et al., 2010)
- Mulberry leaf: 5% 1-DNJ; flattens the after-meal peak; peak after a 50 g sugar drink 59% lower than control (Thaipitakwong et al., 2020); fasting sugar, after-meal sugar and HbA1c lower across 23 human trials (Kesharwani et al., 2026)
- Banaba leaf: corosolic acid; less sugar from the liver overnight; beta-cell function 36.5% higher after 14 days in a randomised double-blind trial (Hibi et al., 2022)
- Bitter melon: Polypeptide-K; helps cells take in glucose; fasting sugar, after-meal sugar and HbA1c improved across 8 trials (Zhang et al., 2024)
- Grape seed: OPCs; guards the small vessels; insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) improved 204% more than placebo in 8 weeks (Mohammad et al., 2021)
The most detailed numbers come from gymnema. In a 90-day human study of gymnema extract in adults with type 2 diabetes (Kumar et al., 2010), 2-hour after-meal sugar was 22% lower, fasting sugar 14% lower, the glucose/insulin ratio 34% lower and urine microalbumin 37% lower, while HbA1c went from 9.6% to 8.6%, a 1% drop. In a second human study, people who eat a lot of sugar took gymnema mints: after 14 days their daily sugary-drink intake was 42% lower, and their liking for chocolate and wish to eat more of it went down (Hsiao et al., 2025). Cell studies add that gymnemic acid regulated Pdx1 and insulin gene expression, a sign of beta-cell protection potential (Ziyanok-Demirtas & Serin, 2026; Kannan et al., 2022).
How do the 11 botanicals work together?
They form the GlucoEVEN System, which goes beyond single-point sugar blocking: three pillars across six focuses. CONTROL curbs sweet cravings and steadies after-meal sugar; SUPPORT helps insulin work and your cells use glucose; PROTECT gives antioxidant and anti-glycation support to blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves.
- Tongue: gymnema cuts sugar cravings.
- Gut: mulberry leaf and gymnema slow how starch turns into sugar.
- Pancreas: gymnema wakes tired beta cells; mulberry and grape seed antioxidants protect them.
- Liver: banaba and mulberry steady night-time and next-morning fasting sugar.
- Muscle and fat: mulberry and banaba raise insulin sensitivity, with bitter melon peptide.
- Small blood vessels: grape seed cuts AGEs, easing the strain on eyes, kidneys and nerves.

On diabetes medicine or insulin? Talk to your doctor before you start, keep taking your medicine exactly as prescribed and never stop or change it on your own. Check your sugar more often in the first weeks, because readings may come down, know the low-sugar signs (shaking, sweating, a fast heartbeat, hunger or confusion) and tell your doctor about any low.
