Mulberry leaves helps lower blood sugar, may also helps in lowering cholesterol, combating inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are linked to chronic disease.
Combat diabetes
Mulberry leaves provide several compounds that may help combat diabetes, including 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which prevents the absorption of carbs in your gut, particularly, these leaves may reduce high levels of blood sugar and insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
In one study, 37 adults ingested maltodextrin, a starchy powder that rapidly boosts blood sugar levels. They were then given mulberry leaf extract containing 5% DNJ. Those who took either 250 or 500 mg of the extract experienced a significantly lower rise in blood sugar and insulin levels than the placebo group. Also, in a 3-month study, people with type 2 diabetes who took 1,000 mg of mulberry leaf extract 3 times
daily with meals experienced significant reductions in post-meal blood sugar levels, compared with a placebo group.
May promote heart health
Some research suggests that mulberry leaf extract may improve heart health by reducing cholesterol and blood pressure levels, decreasing inflammation, and preventing atherosclerosis — a buildup of plaque in your arteries that can lead to heart disease. One study gave 23 people with high cholesterol 280 mg of mulberry leaf supplements 3 times per day. After 12 weeks, their LDL (bad) cholesterol dropped by 5.6% while their HDL (good) cholesterol increased by 19.7%. Another 12-week study noted that 10 people with high triglycerides who took daily mulberry leaf supplements containing 36 mg of DNJ reduced their levels of this marker by 50 mg/dL, on average.
Improve inflammation
Mulberry leaves are loaded with powerful plant compounds like polyphenol antioxidants, as well as vitamin C, zinc, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Mulberry leaf contains numerous anti-inflammatory compounds, including flavonoid antioxidants. Some research suggests that mulberry leaf may combat inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are linked to chronic disease.
