White mulberry (Moruns alba or Morus indica) has been traditionally
used in Asia to help treat type 2 diabetes, and there is some preliminary
evidence to support this use. Mulberry leaf extract (species not given) may
lessen increases in blood sugar after ingestion of table sugar in healthy
people and people with type 2 diabetes (Mudra,
Diabetes Care 2007). Among people with type 2
diabetes, taking 1 gram of powdered white mulberry leaf three times daily
(after breakfast, lunch and dinner) for four weeks was found to lower fasting
blood sugar by 27%, while taking 5 mg of the anti-diabetes drug glibenclamide
lowered fasting Blood Sugar Formula by only 8% (Andallu,
Clin Chim Acta 2001).
