White Mulberry Leaf In GlycoAid
Silkworm food, carrying a molecule that mimics the shape of sugar.
Where It Comes From
Leaf of Morus alba, the tree silkworms are raised on, and a fixture of traditional Chinese medicine for a very long time.
What the research is about
The rise in glucose that follows a meal, across a moderate base of mostly small human trials.
The molecule that mimics a sugar
1-deoxynojirimycin, shortened to DNJ. Its shape is close enough to a sugar that the enzymes which split carbohydrate engage with it instead.
Evidence grade: Moderate. Several human studies exist, generally small, and the findings are less settled than for the large-file names on this panel.
Fast Facts
| Deepest file for | Post-meal glucose response |
|---|---|
| Compound of interest | 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) |
| Usual study design | Standardised extract, shortly before a meal |
| Quantity here | Undisclosed, inside the 500 mg total |
| Traditional use | Long history in Chinese medicine |
The Quantity Question
Protocols typically give a DNJ-standardised extract shortly ahead of a starchy meal. This panel publishes no quantity and no standardisation, and the capsule is a once daily product rather than a pre-meal one.
Cautions
Tolerated well in general. Mild bloating turns up occasionally, which fits an ingredient acting on carbohydrate digestion, and it belongs in the clinician conversation for anybody on glucose medication.
Questions About White Mulberry Leaf
DNJ stands for what?
1-deoxynojirimycin, the sugar-mimicking molecule the research concerns.
Leaf or fruit?
Leaf is what the panel names and leaf is what the studies used.
Should it be taken before a meal?
Trials often time it that way. This capsule is taken once daily with food, which is different timing.
Is it safe?
Supplement quantities are tolerated well, with mild digestive effects the usual report.
How It Sits In The Blend
White Mulberry Leaf is printed inside one 500 mg proprietary formulation alongside thirteen other names, so the quantity here is unknown. That is the position on every panel page on this site, and 500 mg, divided works through what that arithmetic permits. The name above it on the panel is Biotin and the one below is Turmeric Root.
