Mulberry Leaf Extract
Morus alba
Mulberry leaves have been traditionally used in Asia for managing blood sugar. The active compound, 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), inhibits intestinal enzymes that break down carbohydrates, thereby reducing glucose absorption and post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Why We Use it
We included mulberry leaf extract to specifically target postprandial glucose spikes, a critical factor in reducing cravings and long-term metabolic damage.
Key Benefits
- Slows carbohydrate absorption*
- Bolsters post-meal blood sugar spikes*
- Promotes weight management*
- Provides antioxidant benefits*
Mulberry leaves are the sole food source of silkworms, making them essential to silk production.
