mulberry extract

Mulberry extract refers to an extract derived from the leaves or fruit of the mulberry tree, primarily from species such as Morus alba (white mulberry) and Morus nigra (black mulberry). It is used as a dietary supplement or herbal remedy and is promoted for its hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. In animal and in vitro studies, mulberry leaf extract has demonstrated the ability to lower blood glucose by improving glucose metabolism, increasing insulin secretion, and inhibiting digestive enzymes such as alpha-glucosidase, which are responsible for carbohydrate breakdown and absorption[1][2][3]. Its high antioxidant content also provides cellular protection from oxidative stress and free radical injury, which may confer benefits in metabolic and radiation-induced damage settings[1][2][3]. Some evidence also supports its use for cardiovascular health, antibacterial effects, and as an adjunct in cancer radiotherapy for its tissue-protective actions[2][3]. Human data is limited, and approval status varies by region; in India, it is classified as an approved herbal supplement[2].
