Mulberry leaf tea safe hypoglycemic

Early diabetes and no symptoms of disease, but the terrible situation in the imperceptible, if ignored, may cause kidney damage, retinopathy, nerve damage. Complications of diabetes can also lead directly to life-threatening myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, etc.. To avoid this situation occurs, usually the need to improve eating habits and enhance prevention. In this regard, mulberry leaves as a natural non-toxic edible resources being taken more seriously.

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine will mulberry leaves as a treatment for Diabetes Disease (equivalent to modern medicine, diabetes) is used in clinical medicine. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: mulberry leaf "juice fried on behalf of the tea, could only Diabetes"; "Moxibustion cooked fried drink, cup of tea quenches thirst."

In recent years, national research on the composition of mulberry leaves, function and mechanism of a systematic study, found that mulberry leaves are rich in amino acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and a variety of physiological active substances, reducing blood sugar, lower blood pressure, blood fat, anti-aging and other health effects.

Foreign scientists isolated from mulberry leaves 6 alkaloids, and to determine its molecular structure. The researchers used these types of compounds in diabetic mice have been studied, results showed that lowering blood glucose mulberry leaves, in which the most potent alkaloids and polysaccharides.

Found that the hypoglycemic effect of mulberry leaves is achieved through two ways: (1) through mulberry DNJ alkaloid decomposition of the two sugars inhibit the enzyme, thus inhibiting the absorption of the small intestine of the double sugar, lower blood sugar after eating the peak value. (2), and mulberry leaves, mulberry leaf alkaloid fagomine promote cell secretion of insulin, and insulin can promote the cells to use glucose, glycogen synthesis and to improve glucose metabolism, and ultimately the effect of lowering blood sugar. Mulberry leaf organic chromium can reduce insulin resistance, enhanced insulin function. Leaf peeling testosterone can also promote glucose into glycogen, ultimately hypoglycemic effect. And do not affect healthy people's blood sugar levels, diabetes and play a full range of preventive health benefits.

Pharmacological research showed that: mulberry caused by injection to mice injected with low acute toxicity; in sub-acute tests, with 10% of mulberry leaf injection of 60 times the human dosage, continuous intraperitoneal injection to mice 21 days of the internal organs without damage (degeneration, bleeding). 10% of mulberry leaf extract was injected into rabbit femoral muscle or conjunctiva of eye drops, were not found in the local stimulation. Guinea pig allergy test was negative, no experiments on sheep red blood cell hemolysis. These facts suggest that mulberry leaf tea is safe when used non-toxic amount of application of side effects.
