AHPA’s 40 Herbs We Love – No. 20: White Mulberry Leaf (with love from Phynova)

September 6, 2022

AHPA's 40th anniversary celebrations continue with our showcase of the twentieth of many beloved herbs at the heart of our robust industry and vibrant community.

No. 20: White Mulberry Leaf (Morus alba)

White mulberry leaves (Morus alba) have an ancient history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine as early as A.D. 659. White mulberry leaves have been valued for centuries for their health benefits and in particular for their blood sugar balancing properties.

Phynova, founded in Oxford, invested more than a decade in establishing rigorous safety, toxicity, and human clinical evidence in support of Reducose®, our patented and concentrated water extract of white mulberry leaves.

Our clinical studies show that Reducose® supports healthy blood sugar by inhibiting enzymes that break down sucrose and other carbohydrates from our foods, into glucose. This elegant mode-of-action reduces post-meal blood sugar and insulin excursions by up to 40% and improves the time consumers spend in the healthy blood sugar range.

Turn fast sugars and carbs into slow ones with Reducose® and take back control of your blood sugar!
