What sets mulberry leaf apart from other herbs?
White mulberry leaf (Morus alba) isn’t the flashy “superfood” you see in every smoothie recipe. Yet it quietly packs a unique combination of bioactive compounds that most plants simply don’t have in the same amounts.
Here are the key ingredients in each mulberry leaf:
1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) – helps slow the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugar
Quercetin, rutin and kaempferol – powerful flavonoids with antioxidant properties
GABA – a compound also found in calming teas
