1. Helps regulate blood sugar levels
One of the more unique qualities of the Kuwa© mulberry leaf is that it contains a natural compound called 1-deoxynojirimycin (1DNJ).
People with high blood sugar or diabetes tend to have excess absorption of carbohydrates, starches, and sucrose in their intestinal tract. The natural compound, 1DNJ, inhibits the absorption. preventing large amounts of monosaccharides from entering the blood circulation. In this manner, the Kuwa© mulberry leaf helps address some of the conditions associated with diabetes.
A study in Medicine showed that extract made from mulberry leaves reduced the glycemic index for maltose, sucrose, maltodextrin, and glucose by 53.11%, 33.51%, 31.00%, and 8.12% respectively.
Kuwa© mulberry leaves contain several compounds that may reduce high levels of blood sugar and insulin. Another double-blind, randomized study of 37 adults aged 19-59 were given three doses of the mulberry extract. The study showed that the mulberry-leaf extract significantly reduced total blood glucose rise for 120 minutes while total insulin rises were also significantly suppressed over the same time period.
2. GABA: Helps manage cholesterol
Kuwa© mulberry leaves contain GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid), a compound that can lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation while strengthening blood vessel membranes.
GABA is often used as a supplement to improve mood, relieve anxiety, improve sleep, increase tolerance to exercise, burn fat, and increase the growth of lean muscle mass.
3. Helps lower blood pressure and stress
One of the more unique qualities of the Kuwa© mulberry leaf is that it contains a natural compound called 1-deoxynojirimycin (1DNJ).
People with high blood sugar or diabetes tend to have excess absorption of carbohydrates, starches, and sucrose in their intestinal tract. The natural compound, 1DNJ, inhibits the absorption. preventing large amounts of monosaccharides from entering the blood circulation. In this manner, the Kuwa© mulberry leaf helps address some of the conditions associated with diabetes.
4. High in fiber
Kuwa© mulberry leaves are a good source of nutrition with their high levels of protein, Vitamin A, C, and B families of vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and amino acids.
Research shows that Kuwa© leaves are caffeine-free, containing 15-28% protein; loaded with essential amino acids; containing 6 times more calcium than green tea; 25 times more calcium than milk, and 40 times more than cabbage. With respect to iron, it contains 2.5% more than green tea and 10 times more than spinach. Kuwa© Leaves also have mineral content and antioxidants, and it has no anti-nutritional factors or toxic compounds.
In addition, it has Polyphenol, Isoquercitrin, and Astragalin, the natural bonding connection between the elements creates a powerful natural supplement to aid blood sugar control.
5. High in micronutrients
Micronutrients refer to vitamins and minerals that are vital to healthy development. They also help prevent disease and provide for the well-being of individuals.
The only micronutrient that is not produced by the body is vitamin D. All other micronutrients, such as iron, folate, vitamins A and C, and iodine are obtained by eating the proper foods.
Kuwa© mulberry leaves contain the following powerful plant compounds of polyphenol antioxidants, vitamin C, zinc, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium.
