Mulberry leaf extract

The mechanism of action of mulberry leaf extract in lowering blood sugar is mainly achieved through DNJ 1-deoxynojirimycin, mulberry leaf alkaloid fagomine, and mulberry leaf polysaccharides. DNJ inhibits the activity of disaccharide degrading enzymes, thereby inhibiting the absorption of disaccharides by the small intestine. Mulberry polyphenol fagomine and mulberry leaf polysaccharides promote the secretion of insulin by ß cells, which can promote the utilization of sugar, hepatic glycogen synthesis, and improve sugar metabolism, ultimately achieving the effect of lowering blood sugar.
