About Product
Mulberry leaf powder is made from the leaves of the mulberry tree, which has been an essential part of Chinese culture for centuries.
The leaves have been used in (TCM) Traditional Chinese Medicine for their many redeeming qualities. In the early 1900s, mulberry leaves were collected and dried, then ground into a fine powder to be used as a part of one's daily consumption.
Today, mulberry leaf powder is a popular ingredient in many health and wellness products.
Mulberry leaf powder is a natural and simple way to add more nourishment to your diet.
Some research suggests that Mulberry Leaf may contain the following constituents:
- Rutin, quercetin, Isoquercetin, Quercetin-3-Triglucoside, beta-sitosterol, campestero1H, beta-d-glucoside, lupeol, inokosterone, hemolysin, chlorogenic acid, oxalic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, palmitic acid, moranoline (1-deoxynojirimycin).

Suggested Use: Mix one tablespoon in your favorite juice or smoothie.
Other Preparations:
Infusion: Use the ratio of 1 tea bag of product for every 8 ounces of distilled water. Bring water to a boil and then take off. Put tea in a mug with water and cover for 15 minutes. (This method is specific for whole-leaf herbs and teas).
Tincture: This method can take 15 to 30 days. You will need three items (a mason jar with a cover, the herb/herbs of your choice, and liquid for extracting). The extracting liquid can be alcohol, alcohol/water combo, vinegar, or vegetable glycerin. Take the product and fill the jar ¾ full, add the liquid of your choice, and close the jar. Then shake the jar, so everything is well mixed. Give the jar a good shake several times a day. After 15 to 30 days, strain and bottle in glass tincture jars.
