Reducing the health impact of dietary sugar intake is a public health priority. Mulberry leaf extract may reduce blood glucose responses following sugar intake by reducing gastrointestinal carbohydrate absorption via alpha-glucosidase inhibition activity of iminosugar constituents such as 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ). Mulberry leaf extracts are widely consumed in Asia for normalizing post-prandial blood glucose. Reducose has been tested in multiple clinical trials and lowers the postprandial glucose response by up to 40%. This study will required consuming Glucotrojan supplement with the high-carb rice based meal.
