Studies show better results with formulations from whole mulberry parts — either leaves or extracts — rather than compounds isolated from the mulberry, so it may be a better to purchase from a selection of mulberry leaf teas or mulberry supplements in doses that replicate the studies.
This leads to the question: How much were study participants taking and how were they taking it? Answer: The study doesn’t make that clear. It does say that participants drank 90 ml of tea.
Following is dosage information from several bestselling mulberry products.
Glucocil contains mulberry, but just how much is a mystery. The bottle identifies a “proprietary” mulberry leaf extract with no dosage given because it is folded into what the label says is a “Glucocil Blood Glucose Management Blend” of 1050 mg.
Geneceuticals: White Mulberry Leaf Extract 1000 mgs
The label says this product will boost weight loss efforts, is a top quality appetite suppressant, helps regulate blood sugar levels and lowers high blood pressure.
BioGanix: The label says the product contains 1000 mgs of white mulberry leaf extract standardized to 1% alkaloids (1-deoxynojinmycin) [sic].
Unfortunately, the ingredient thought to be beneficial is 1-deoxynojirimycin. Would you trust a bottle that misspelled the most important ingredient? Standardizing the product to 1% alkaloids sounds good, but if they misspell the ingredients, do they even know what it means?
NuVItality 1000 mgs
Reborn Labs 500 mgs
Naturesque 1000 mgs
