Mulberry Leaf in the Diet: Mulberry and sugar levels, diabates and weight-loss

Print  | 

Mulberry, especially under the name mulberry zuccarin which is used by New Nordic to label its version, is getting more and more popular as a way to facilitate healthy blood sugar levels.

In a recente article, AmAre Way addresses the question “What are the health advantages of making Mulberry Leaf part of our Diet?”. The mulberry plant has been highly regarded in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine. With preliminary human studies confirming its benefits in both preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, the mulberry popularity is on the rise. Studies suggest that extracts of black, green, and mulberry tea leaves could interfere with carbohydrate absorption via their ability to inhibit {alpha}-amylase, {alpha}-glucosidase, and sodium-glucose transporters. Mulberries are also a source of resveratrol, which functions as an antioxidant.
