Reducose® 5%

The Natural Glucose Control Extract

A patented mulberry leaf extract standardised to 5% 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), clinically studied to help lower blood sugar, insulin and glycated haemoglobin levels.

What is Reducose® Good For?

Reducose® works by slowing down the breakdown of carbohydrates in the small intestine. This helps to reduce post-meal glucose spikes and result in improved glucose management overall.

 

Reducose® supplementation may lead to:

  • Reduction in post-prandial blood glucose and insulin response by inhibiting the access of carbohydrate-degrading enzymes
  • Decrease in fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels when used long-term (~12 weeks)
  • Reducing the risk of heart injury caused by sepsis by decreasing oxidative damage and inflammation (as demonstrated in animal models)

What is 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ)?

DNJ is a natural glucose analogue found in mulberry leaves. It acts as a mild, reversible inhibitor of amylases and α-glucosidase, the enzymes that break down carbohydrates into glucose.

 

By slowing carbohydrate digestion, DNJ reduces the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream, demonstrating a lowered rise in blood sugar and insulin after eating.

What is the Recommended Daily Dose of Reducose®?

Human clinical studies suggest that 200 mg of Reducose® (5% DNJ), taken before a carbohydrate-containing meal, significantly reduces post-prandial glucose and insulin response.

Your Questions About Reducose®

Reach us arrow_forward
Reducose® is a patented mulberry leaf extract standardised to 5% DNJ, clinically shown to reduce blood sugar spikes after meals.
It helps to manage post-meal blood glucose and insulin levels as a single dose and results in reduced glucose markers in the longer term.
Generic mulberry powders vary in DNJ content. Reducose® is patented, standardised to 5% DNJ, and clinically validated for reproducible results.
Reducose® is well tolerated. At higher doses, mild gastrointestinal effects (gas, bloating) may occur due to slowed carbohydrate breakdown.
Reducose® is not a substitute for medical treatment. Individuals taking diabetes medication should consult their healthcare professional before use, as medications might have to be adjusted when used due to blood glucose lowering effects.
