As chronic disease management shifts from treatment to proactive prevention, the value of medicinal and edible homologous (MEH) ingredients is gaining widespread attention across the global functional food sector.A recent review published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules systematically examined 16 types of plant polysaccharides derived from MEH plants, highlighting their promising potential in diabetes prevention and intervention. Mechanism-Backed Efficacy MEH polysaccharides (MEHPPs) extracted from TCM herbs like Polygonatum (Huangjing), Panax ginseng, Dioscorea, Lycium barbarum and more, have shown to regulate key pathways such as PI3K/Akt, AMPK, and Nrf2—supporting glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, oxidative stress reduction, and gut microbiota balance. Natural, Safe, and Functional Unlike synthetic drugs, these bioactive compounds are naturally derived, well-tolerated, and ideal for formulating health-supporting beverages, RTD shots, soups, and snackable formats.
