Mulberry Leaf Extract

Product Details

The main ingredients of mulberry leaf extract include flavonoid compounds such as rutin, quercetin, isoquercitrin, and alkaloid DNJ. Other compounds found in the extract include arbutin and various organic acids.

Alkaloid DNJ, specifically 1-deoxynojirimycin, is known to have the effect of inhibiting the activity of disaccharidase enzymes, which can help reduce the peak value of postprandial blood sugar levels. Additionally, DNJ has been shown to have an insulin-sensitizing effect and improve insulin resistance.

Replacing carbohydrates with mulberry leaf extract may have beneficial effects on blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes or prediabetes. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of using mulberry leaf extract as a dietary supplement. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or medication regimen.
