Mulberry Leaf Extract
200 mg of mulberry leaf extract (the amount in each serving of Renutrin®) lowers post-meal blood sugar by ~20-30% after meals by blocking the enzyme that breaks down starch.
Research on mulberry leaf extract (MLE)
Cui et al. Food & Function 2023. This systematic review and meta-analysis found long-term (≥8 weeks) intake of MLE reduced fasting blood glucose by -8.5 mg/dL, A1c by -2.4% and fasting insulin by -4 pmol/L and was most effective in adults with prediabetes.
Thondre et al. Nutrients 2024. 200 mg of MLE - the same amount in one dose of Renutrin decreased glucose by -30% and insulin by 31% in healthy adults.
Ding et al. Plos One 2023. MLB added to bread significantly reduced glucose in health adults.
Mohamed et al. Diab Ther 2023. MLE reduced glucose by -20% and insulin by -24% in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Takahashi et al. Eur J Clin Nutr 2023. MLE significantly lowered glucose in healthy adults.
Ghelof et al. Nutrients 2022. MLE reduced glucose by- 26% in healthy adults.
Thondre et al. Nutr & Metab 2021. 250 mg MLE reduced glucose by -42%, insulin by -40%, peak glucose by -40%, and peak insulin by -41% in healthy adults.
Wang et al. Medicine. 2018. MLE reduced glucose up to 53% in healthy adults.
Lown et al. Plos One 2017. 250 mg MLE lowered glucose by -14% and insulin by 24% in healthy adults.
The Formula

Renutrin® has just 2 Ingredients: Mulberry Leaf Extract and Resistant Potato Starch
Resistant Potato Starch
3.5 g of resistant potato starch (Renutrin® has 4.5 g/serving) has a prebiotic effect.
Gut microbes break down resistant starch to produce short chain fatty acids. These acids bind to the cells that line our intestine and causes other metabolites to be released (one is GLP-1) that regulate blood sugar and insulin, inflammation, metabolism, appetite, and many other host benefits.
Research on resistant potato starch (RPS)
Bush et al. BMC Nutr 2024. RPS did not change abdominal pain, gas, or discomfort levels from baseline showing good tolerance.
Bush et al. Metabolites 2024. RPS improved free fatty acid levels and conjugated bile acids that are linked to metabolic health.
Bush et al. Nutrients 2023. RPS increases Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia gut bacteria as well as improved regularity.
Bush et al. J Fun Foods 2023. RPS reduced gut histamine and markers linked to leaky gut.
Cao et al. Nutrients 2022. RPS reduced intestinal inflammation markers in adults with metabolic syndrome.
Sanders et al. J Hum Nutr Diet 2020. RPS reduced fasting glucose and free fatty acids, both associated with metabolic health.
Patterson et al. Nutrients 2019. RPS reduced peak glucose by -9.2% and peak insulin by -23% in overweight females.
Maiya et al. Nutr Res 2023. This narrative review found that resistant starch intake over 8 weeks improved cardiometabolic outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes.
