LEARN THE SCIENCE
Better meals start before the first bite.
When you eat carbohydrates, digestive enzymes break them down into sugars that enter your bloodstream.
The faster that happens, the sharper the rise in blood glucose—and the greater the demand for insulin to bring it back down.
Mulbry is designed to intervene before that process begins.
Two soft chews before your meal combine five carefully selected, food-derived ingredients that target carbohydrate digestion, glucose absorption and satiety through complementary pathways.
Each ingredient in Mulbry is backed by clinical research on glucose response, digestion and metabolic health.
An enjoyable ritual you'll actually look forward to.
THE MULBRY APPROACH
A delicious chew that naturally supports your blood sugar.
12.5 mg DNJ
Inhibits enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates into absorbable sugars.
1,000 mg
Inhibits sucrase, the enzyme that breaks down table sugar (sucrose) into glucose and fructose.
2.5 g
Increases viscosity in the digestive tract, which can influence the rate of nutrient absorption.
250 mg
Apple polyphenols have been studied for their effects on carbohydrate digestion and glucose transport.
200 mg
Eriomin® is a proprietary lemon flavonoid extract studied for its role in supporting healthy glucose metabolism and metabolic balance.
The research behind our ingredients
Mulbry brings together food-derived ingredients that have been individually studied for their effects on carbohydrate digestion, post-meal glucose response and metabolic health.
Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis
Mulberry Leaf Extract & Glycemic Markers
Cui et al., Food & Function, 2023
Meta-analysis of 12 randomized clinical trials (615 participants). Mulberry supplementation significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and fasting insulin.

Mulberry Extract with Vitamin D, Chromium & Fiber in Type 2 Diabetes
Mohamed et al., Diabetes Therapy, 2023
Mulberry leaf extract combined with vitamin D, chromium and fiber reduced post-meal glucose iAUC and insulin in people with type 2 diabetes compared to placebo.
Read Study →Registered Randomized Crossover Trial
L-Arabinose & Post-Meal Glucose Response
ISRCTN14597438
A registered randomized crossover trial examining L-arabinose effects on post-meal glucose response. Trial registry listed for transparency — publication under review.
Read Study →Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
Phlorizin-Rich Apple Extract & Early Postprandial Glucose
Prpa et al., Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2020
Apple extract taken before a starch/sucrose meal reduced early postprandial glucose iAUC with corresponding effects on insulin, C-peptide and GIP. No significant effect on peak glucose or total glycemic response.

Eriomin® Lemon Flavonoids & GLP-1 Secretion
Ramos et al., Nutrients, 2022
Eriomin® (eriocitrin from Citrus limon) reduced hyperglycemia by 6% and increased GLP-1 blood levels by 22% in prediabetic subjects, while also downregulating systemic inflammation markers.

Slow carbohydrate breakdown
MULBERRY LEAF · 12.5 MG DNJ
Human randomized trials of standardized mulberry extract have reported substantial reductions in post-meal glucose and insulin measures, including one study reporting approximately 42% lower glucose iAUC and 40% lower insulin iAUC versus placebo under its specific test conditions.¹
Target dietary sugar
L-ARABINOSE · 1,000 MG
A randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study found that 1,000 mg of L-arabinose taken with a high-sucrose meal significantly reduced post-meal blood glucose and insulin responses in healthy adults.²
Add soluble fiber before the meal
CITRUS PECTIN · 3.5 G
Soluble fibers like pectin have been shown to reduce the post-meal glucose response by slowing gastric emptying and carbohydrate absorption.³
Support glucose handling
APPLE POLYPHENOLS · 250 MG
Clinical research has shown that apple polyphenols can reduce post-meal blood glucose and improve markers of glucose handling in overweight and healthy individuals.⁴
Support metabolic health
ERIOMIN® LEMON FLAVONOIDS · 200 MG
A crossover-randomized clinical trial found that Eriomin® lemon flavonoids increased GLP-1 blood levels by 22% and reduced hyperglycemia in prediabetic subjects.⁵
