Eto ay PURSLANE OR GULASIMAN
Sa Pilipinas madalas iniignore natin ang weeds na eto o tatawanan kapag sinasabi na kinakain eto dahil akala natin isang damo lang na pakalat kalat at tumutubo sa mga sandy area.

Pero ang hindi natin alam in abroad this weeds are expensive and goes export.. yung employer ko dati my diabetes, her doctor recommended na purslane ang kainin daily salad nya..kaya yun nawala na ang diabetes .Just search about this weeds at tiyak you fall in love to this weeds. Sa mga mahilig mag collagen.. purslane na ang daily salad nyo free collagen na yan.. sa mga mababa ang libido yan na ang sagot. If mapopulace sa Pinas ay mapasok sa market. Mababawasan ang malnutrition..

Gulasiman or Purslane is also a rich source of vitamin-C, and some B-complex vitamins like riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine and carotenoids, as well as dietary minerals, such as iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and manganese.
A new study has confirmed the anti-diabetic properties of the purslane herb extract Portulaca oleracea L. Pulsane
Researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, led by Julian Weghuber PhD, investigated extracts prepared from seven different plants reported to exhibit anti-diabetic effects via GLUT4 (glucose transporter protein type 4) translocation-inducing properties. Induction of GLUT4 translocation without insulin is considered a key aspect to decrease elevated blood glucose levels in persons with diabetes.

In vitro models
By combining established in vitro models with modern fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy, the effect of purslane and other herb extracts on cellular glucose uptake has been studied extensively.
Reducing blood glucose levels
Researchers found that only two substances, among which one is purslane extract, led to enhanced GLUT4 translocation including plasma membrane insertion, and glucose uptake in established cell models. Moreover, both extracts resulted in a distribution and clustering of GLUT4 in the plasma membrane similar to that of insulin, and appeared to reduce blood glucose levels in a living organism.
Purslane
Frutarom Health BU manufactures Portusana, a scientifically supported and unique purslane extract that captures the benefits of this ancient plant. Rich in valuable nutrients, purslane is known as a healthy culinary plant throughout the world, and is treasured for its anti-diabetic properties in Near Eastern folk medicine. Frutarom Health BU’s purslane extract, Portusana, was included in the Weghuber study.
