Japanese Mulberry Leaves. Zuccarin tablets are made by Scandinavian company New Nordic in conjunction with Japanese scientists. They contain standardised extract of Mulberry leaf, which is rich in a natural active substance called moranoline (also know as DNJ). Moranoline holds back complex carbohydrates, starches, maltose & sucrose from breaking down to glucose. Glucose is the form of sugar, which the body absorbs into the blood. Very high blood sugar levels results in diabetes, which must be treated by a doctor. However many more people do have higher than normal blood sugar levels. Mulberry Leaf extract helps the body to control peaks in blood sugars after meals &, as a part of a healthy diet & lifestyle can improve general health & wellbeing.
