Morus Alba L. Extract Natural Mulberry Leaf Extract 1-DNJ
Chemical Constituents of Mulberry leaves
Mulberry leaves are rich in nutrients and have many unique natural active substances. Experiments show that 100g dried mulberry leaves contain 15-30g of protein, 4–10g of crude fat, 8-15g of crude fiber, 8-12g of coarse ash, 30-40mg of vitamin E, and 0.5-vitamin B1. 0.8mg, vitamin B2 0.8-1.5mg, vitamin E 30-40mg, vitamin B11 0.5-0.6mg, vitamin B5 3-5mg, β-carotene 2-3mg, Mulberry leaves also contain many natural active substances, such as flavonoids, v-aminobutyric acid, 1-deoxynojirimycin, etc.
1-DNJ is the main active ingredient in the mulberry leaf extract, and it should be noted that the 1-DNJ that makes mulberry leaves has medicinal value.
what is 1-DNJ?
Product name: 1-Deoxynojirimycin
Other names: 1-DNJ
Specification: 1%-5% HPLC

CAS No.: 19130-96-2
1-DNJ, the full name of 1-Deoxynojirimycin, is a natural alkaloid found in mulberry (Morus Alba L.). In addition to mulberry trees, several plants and microorganisms such as hyacinth, wild grass, and Bacillus have also been found to contain small amounts of DNJ. However, the 1-DNJ content in mulberry trees is much higher than other plants and microorganisms found. The 1-DNJ in mulberry is mainly distributed in the leaves, roots, and branches of mulberry trees, among which the 1-DNJ content in mulberry leaves is high (about one-thousandth of the dry weight). Moreover, mulberry leaves account for the most significant proportion of the total mulberry trunk material, about 65%. Therefore, mulberry leaves have now become the primary source of natural 1-DNJ.

Function
Mulberry Leaf Extract 1-DNJ is an active ingredient extracted from mulberry leaves, also known as 1-deoxynojirimycin. It is widely used as a nutraceutical and natural medicine and has a variety of health benefits.
- Suppresses blood sugar: Mulberry Leaf Extract 1-DNJ is believed to have a blood sugar-lowering effect, making it especially suitable for diabetics. It inhibits the absorption of sugar in the intestines, slows the rise in blood sugar, and increases insulin sensitivity in the body.
- Antioxidant: Mulberry Leaf Extract 1-DNJ is rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce the production of free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress damage. This helps improve the body’s immunity and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
- Weight Loss: Mulberry Leaf Extract 1-DNJ is thought to help promote fat metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. It inhibits the accumulation of fat and promotes the decomposition and burning of fat, thereby aiding weight management and weight loss.
- Anti-inflammatory: Mulberry Leaf Extract 1-DNJ has certain anti-inflammatory effects and can reduce inflammatory reactions and tissue damage. It is thought to have a beneficial effect on inflammation-related diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
