The supplementation of mulberry leaf extract, along with fibre, vitamin D, and chromium, has been shown to reduce post meal glucose spike, according to a study funded by Nestle Health Science on one of its products.
Scientists say whey protein and mulberry leaf extract (MLE) are effective at lowering the risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) when consumed at the optimum time and at particular doses.
The potential benefits of mulberry fruit extracts to reduce blood sugar and insulin increases after a meal may be achievable at a lower dose than previously reported, says a new study from Unilever R&D.
The intake of Mulberry (Mori ramulus) extract after a high fat and sucrose diet has shown to reduce post-meal blood glucose, according to a RCT conducted in South Korea.
Nestle Health Science has launched a mulberry leaf supplement, Nutren GlucoSmart, that disrupts the digestion of carbohydrates to protect pre-diabetics from developing full blown type 2 diabetes.
