Extracto de hoja de morera blanca 4:1 - 120 cápsulas - 500 mg - Herbal Island

¿What is White Mulberry Leaf Extract?

Discover White Mulberry Leaf — White Mulberry Leaf extract is obtained from the leaves of the Morus alba tree, a species native to China that has been cultivated for millennia. This supplement comes in 500 mg vegetable capsules, with a 4:1 concentration, meaning that for every kilogram of extract, four kilograms of raw material were used. This extraction process allows for a more concentrated product than conventional leaf powder.

How is a 4:1 extract obtained?

A 4:1 extract indicates that four parts of dried leaf were used to obtain one part of the final extract. This is achieved through extraction processes with water or ethanol, followed by drying and pulverizing. The result is a fine powder that contains a higher proportion of active compounds per gram compared to whole ground leaf. Therefore, the capsules offer a practical way to incorporate this traditional ingredient into your daily routine.

History and origin of white mulberry

White mulberry is mainly known for being the exclusive food of the silkworm (Bombyx mori). Its cultivation spread from China to other regions of the world. In colonial times, it was introduced to the United States with the intention of establishing a silk industry. Although that project did not prosper, the tree has become naturalized in many areas. In traditional Asian medicine, mulberry leaves have been used for centuries as part of herbal preparations.

Today, white mulberry leaf extract is consumed as a food supplement. It is important to note that it should not replace a balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

How to take this supplement?

The recommended dose varies according to individual needs. As a general guideline, it is suggested to take one capsule daily with plenty of water, preferably during a meal. Each container has 120 capsules, which provides approximately four months of supply if this guideline is followed. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have any medical condition.
