White Mulberry Leaf In GlycoBalance

GlycoBalance Ingredient 4 of 6

White Mulberry Leaf

White Mulberry Leaf is the one ingredient in GlycoBalance that works before glucose enters the bloodstream. Its active compound, 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), is shaped like glucose and temporarily occupies alpha-glucosidase enzymes in the gut — the enzymes that break starch and table sugar into absorbable glucose. Slower breakdown means a gentler post-meal glucose rise. This is the same mechanism targeted by the prescription drug acarbose, though at very different concentrations.
