BGR-34, short for Blood Glucose Regulator-34, is an Ayurvedic-derived product sold in India as an over-the-counter pill for the management of type 2 diabetes. It was developed in 2015 by two government-owned Indian laboratories and launched commercially in 2016, but it has been tested in only one, modest-sized human trial, and without further clinical trials its efficacy remains unproven. Its manufacturers have refused to acknowledge concerns about its unproven efficacy, and its promotion has relied in part on publication in journals identified as predatory, making it a documented case of a government-backed product marketed with insufficient scientific validation.

Has BGR-34 been shown to lower blood sugar in a clinical trial?
It was reported to lower blood sugar in one modest trial with company-affiliated authors; efficacy remains unproven.
A published trial reported that BGR-34 lowered blood sugar, but the evidence is thin. The paper reported that fasting blood sugar fell by 34.3 percent and glycosylated haemoglobin by 20.31 percent with BGR-34, against reductions of 13.2 percent and 10.87 percent in the comparison group. That comparison group was given Triphala, which is itself an herbal preparation, and several of the paper's authors are affiliated with Aimil Pharmaceuticals, a company. This atlas records BGR-34 as tested in only one modest human trial, so its efficacy remains unproven.
