Those mice that were fed the
mulberry - supplemented chow had an unforeseen remarkable 40 %
lessening in their atherosclerosis lesions in their aortas. In an
complementary test tube study, it showed mulberry extract slowed the
oxidation of lipids which means an antioxidant reaction against free
radicals caused by oxidation. The authors concluded that mulberry
leaf might help prevent atherosclerosis.
This caused me to look further into mulberry leaf information. Its
leaves comprise a rather considerable amount of flavonoids. These
flavonoids are in the quercetin family. For anybody who is not
familiar with antioxidants quercetin is a powerful antioxidant
located in grapes. This same antioxidant as part of the mulberry
plant is a strong and potent free radical neutralizer. The better
known quercetin extracts are often used in many antioxidant formulas
as well as high energy formulas. Other studies have found that
mulberry leafs and extracts also have reduced symptoms of diabetes
in animals.
If you have atherosclerosis or wish to take preventive action, this
very low-priced herb might be a magic nutrient which can help you
remove vessel plaque. By minimizing vessel blockage you reduce your
risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke significantly. And the
slowing of oxidation of lipids as described above may help keep your
cholesterol healthy. So if you have high cholesterol, mulberry
should be a required nutrient, to keep your LDL from oxidizing. I
think we will see far more mulberry research and studies in the
future. Mulberry leaf is readily available online and in most
vitamin cottages
