FAQ
- What Is DNJ and Why Is It Important?
DNJ, or 1-deoxynojirimycin, is one of the most studied compounds found in mulberry leaves. It is valued for its role in carbohydrate metabolism and is believed to work by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in carbohydrate digestion. For this reason, DNJ is often used as a marker of mulberry extract quality and potency. - How Does Mulberry Support Healthy Blood Sugar Levels?
Mulberry leaf contains DNJ, a naturally occurring compound that has been studied for its effects on carbohydrate digestion. Research suggests DNJ may help support healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range by slowing the breakdown of certain carbohydrates in the digestive tract. - How Does Mulberry Support Carbohydrate Metabolism?
Research suggests the DNJ in mulberry may help support carbohydrate metabolism by slowing the digestion of certain carbohydrates and supporting the body's normal processing of sugars. This mechanism is one reason mulberry is commonly used in metabolic wellness supplements. - What Is the Difference Between Mulberry Fruit and Mulberry Leaf?
While both come from the mulberry plant, they contain different concentrations of bioactive compounds. Mulberry fruit is valued for its antioxidants, including anthocyanins and polyphenols, while mulberry leaf is particularly rich in DNJ, the compound most often associated with healthy blood sugar and carbohydrate metabolism support. - What Makes Swanson Standardized Mulberry Leaf Extract Unique?
Swanson Standardized Mulberry Leaf Extract delivers 500 mg of mulberry leaf extract in each capsule, providing a concentrated source of DNJ (1-deoxynojirimycin) and other naturally occurring compounds found in mulberry leaves. Unlike mulberry fruit products, this formula focuses on the leaf, which is particularly valued for its role in supporting healthy carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar metabolism. - Is Swanson Standardized Mulberry Leaf Extract Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson Standardized Mulberry Leaf Extract is made with non-GMO ingredients. However, it is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets because the capsule contains gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient. This product is also not certified gluten free.
