Overview
•Mulberry leaf extract may cause mild digestive effects such as bloating, gas, nausea, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort, especially when first used with carbohydrate-containing meals.
•Because 1-Deoxynojirimycin can slow carbohydrate digestion and may lower post-meal glucose, use caution with insulin, sulfonylureas, metformin, acarbose, or other diabetes medications due to possible additive blood-sugar-lowering effects.
•The label advises adult use only and recommends consulting a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition.
•This product contains gelatin, so it is not vegetarian or vegan; it also contains rice flour and is not certified gluten free.
•The 500 mg dose standardized to 1% DNJ is clearly quantified, but people with diabetes or hypoglycemia risk should monitor glucose response and avoid combining with multiple glucose-lowering products without medical guidance.
