Gadagi tea was given to rats in different doses for four weeks to see how it affects their hormone levels. Rats given low dose of "sak" had lower ACTH levels, while those given "sada" had lower insulin levels at low dose. Rats given "sak", "sada", and "magani" had higher glucagon levels, suggesting more energy production from glycogen. This could explain why Gadagi tea users feel more endurance.
