Decades worth of local and international research into Rooibos’ anti-diabetic properties confirms its effectiveness at improving sugar levels when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle. Rooibos should form part of a holistic strategy to tackle the disease, say experts.
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), an estimated 4.5 million South African adults are likely to have diabetes. What’s even more frightening is that diabetes rates in the country have increased by an alarming 155% in the last decade alone – making it the second most common cause of death in SA.
Research suggests that Rooibos can play an important role in the management of diabetes. This is due to the fact that Rooibos contains Aspalathin, which improves blood glucose levels and therefore could help to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

| Many enjoy drinking coffee when starting their day. Others, however, try to avoid coffee due to fears of amnesia, nervousness and diarrhea. Although coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world, you might be looking for a suitable substitute to enjoy in the morning as opposed to your usual cuppa.
In an article on boldsky.com, Rooibos was listed as one of the top 15 alternatives to coffee. They specifically added Rooibos to the list because it is caffeine-free, low in tannin, and contains antioxidants, which means it has many health benefits. Other than that, it has a naturally sweet taste, making it a delicious drink for most.
