Advantages
Mulberry leaf extract
is a potent supplement for the control and balance of
blood sugar levels and cholesterol. 1-Deoxynojirimycin,
active ingredient in the extract, strongly inhibits the
intestinal metabolism of disaccharides (especially sucrose),
thereby restricting almost upto 50 % of the amount of
sugar entering the circulation. It is also observed that
mulberry leaf extract taken before carbohydrate rich meals
significantly suppresses the normal postprandial (after-meal)
rise in blood sugar level.
Morus alba leaf extract is effective in suppressing arteriosclerosis,
the buildup of cholesterol rich plaques in the arteries.
It does this by inhibiting the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol
(low-density lipoprotein, the harmful cholesterol). The
extract also contains Isoquercitin, which when ingested
is largely metabolized to quercetin, a potent antioxident.
