White Mulberry is a deciduous tree whose fruits and roots are traditionally used in Asian countries to support vitality and immunity, the leaves for making herbal teas.

Researches in Japan have shown that white mulberry contains a compound capable of slowing the absorption of carbohydrates and lowering blood sugar levels. This compound, known as 1-deoxynoyrimycin (DNJ), can only be extracted from mulberry leaves. It slows down the breakdown of sugars in the intestine so that they penetrate more slowly into the bloodstream. This process leads to limited absorption of carbohydrates from food, reduces cravings for sweets and promotes weight control.

Root extract of Salacia, a woody liana widely grown in Southeast Asia, is traditionally used in Ayurveda as an anti-diabetic. Thanks to the content of a specific enzyme, alpha-glucosidase, salacia extract is a powerful carbohydrate blocker.

Magniferin, which is part of its extract, reduces the activity of sucrose (the enzyme that breaks sucrose into glucose and fructose), which leads to reduced absorption of sugars in the body. Mangiferin also has immunoprotective and antioxidant effect.

Alpha lipoic acid – a well-known antioxidant that regulates the rate of fat and protein metabolism, accelerates the breakdown of carbohydrates, stimulates cholesterol metabolism and improves glucose absorption.

Hay fenugreek seed extract – contains soluble dietary fiber, saponins and alkaloids that reduce fat digestion and normalize carbohydrate metabolism. The extract also has immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, tonic action.

Chromium is involved in the regulation of carbohydrate, fat metabolism and blood glucose levels. Experiments indicate that chromium supplements may decrease cravings for sweet and floury foods, help restore control of blood sugar levels and have anti-atherosclerotic effect.
