Lotus Leaf Extract

Lotus leaf extract takes the dried leaves of Nelumbo nucifera, a plant of the Nymphaeaceae family, as raw materials, and then extracts the natural active components from them, mainly including alkaloids (such as DNJ), flavonoids, volatile oils and polysaccharides and other compounds.

1. Regulate blood sugar
Flavonoids (such as rutin) can delay carbohydrate breakdown and lower postprandial blood sugar by inhibiting the activity of α -glucosidase. Alkaloids (DNJ) may promote insulin secretion or improve insulin resistance. Animal experiments have shown its auxiliary hypoglycemic effect, but human research is limited and it cannot replace hypoglycemic drugs. Diabetic patients should use it as directed by a doctor.

2. Antioxidation and anti-aging
Polyphenols can eliminate free radicals, reduce oxidative stress damage, and protect cell membranes and DNA.
In vitro experiments have shown that mulberry leaf extract can inhibit lipid peroxidation and delay the degradation of skin collagen, and has potential application in anti-aging products.

3. Regulate lipid metabolism
Mulberry leaf polysaccharides can reduce liver fat accumulation, promote cholesterol metabolism, and lower serum triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein levels.
Some clinical trials have shown that its combination with dietary adjustments can improve mild hyperlipidemia.

4. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
Chlorogenic acid and other components have inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and other bacteria.
Flavonoids can alleviate inflammatory responses by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway or have a potential auxiliary effect on chronic inflammation-related diseases such as arthritis.

Limited mechanism of action: Mulberry leaf extract mainly exerts its effects by delaying sugar absorption and slightly promoting fat metabolism, but its effect on the decomposition of already formed fat is relatively weak, making it more suitable as an auxiliary means for weight management.

Long-term persistence is required: Research shows that a weight change of 1-3kg may be observed after continuous use for more than 12 weeks, but there are individual differences.

Cannot counteract a high-calorie diet: If the diet is not controlled, the effect of mulberry leaf extract will be counterbalanced.
