Premium Mulberry Leaf Extract Powder Manufacturer
Mulberry Leaf Extract: Product Introduction
Mulberry leaf extract is made from the dried leaves of the mulberry tree (Morus alba L.), a plant in the Moraceae family. The process involves washing, crushing, extraction (water or alcohol extraction), concentration, and drying. It is rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, polysaccharides, polyphenols, and other active ingredients. Among these, alkaloids, represented by 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), are the core substances responsible for its health benefits.
Main Active Ingredients
Alkaloids (represented by DNJ): DNJ is a D-glucose analog that inhibits α-glucosidase activity, slows the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, and lowers postprandial blood glucose.
Flavones: Possess antioxidant, lipid-lowering, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Polysaccharides: Can promote insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, helping to regulate blood sugar and blood lipids.
Polyphenols: Represented by chlorogenic acid, they have antioxidant and antibacterial activities.
YTBIO offers mulberry leaf extract in various specifications to meet the needs of different applications, including health foods and functional foods. Our product processes are mature and stable, ensuring controllable quality.

Product Benefits
1. Blood Sugar Regulation
DNJ in mulberry leaf extract can inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase in the small intestine, slowing down the rate of carbohydrate breakdown and lowering postprandial blood glucose levels. One study showed that after 14 healthy subjects took 750mg of mulberry leaf extract with 75g of sucrose, postprandial blood glucose fluctuations were significantly reduced, the glycemic index was significantly lowered, and excessive insulin release was not induced. Another trial in patients with type 2 diabetes showed that daily intake of 300mg of mulberry leaf extract can significantly reduce insulin levels.
2. Cardiovascular Health
Mulberry leaf extract can lower serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, while increasing HDL cholesterol levels, helping to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, improve vascular reactivity, and lower blood pressure.
3. Antioxidant Effects
The flavonoids and polyphenols in mulberry leaf extract have the ability to scavenge free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage and delaying cell aging.
4. Improves Sleep Quality
Luteolin and kaempferol in mulberry leaves can promote the release of sleep-inducing neurotransmitters such as 5-HT and GABA, helping to soothe nerves and relieve anxiety. Animal experiments showed that mice ingesting mulberry leaf extract experienced a 33% reduction in sleep onset time and a 56% increase in total sleep time. A human study published in the *European Journal of Nutrition* in 2025 confirmed that daily supplementation with a 750mg mulberry leaf extract complex significantly shortened sleep onset time and improved sleep quality and mental state the next day.
5. Anti-inflammatory Effects
Mulberry leaf extract can inhibit the production of inflammatory factors and reduce inflammatory responses.
Application Guidelines
Health Foods: Can be used to develop health products such as capsules, tablets, and powders to help lower blood sugar.
Food Additives: Can be added to functional foods such as low-GI biscuits, milk powder, yogurt, and meal replacement powders.
Animal Feed: Mulberry leaf extract can be used as a feed additive to improve animal metabolism and health.
Functional Beverages: Mulberry leaf extract can be used to develop sugar-controlled teas or sleep-aiding drinks.
