What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Sang Ye by Herbal Terra is a single-ingredient liquid extract: certified organic white mulberry (Sang Ye) leaf in concentrated form. The extract is made using a menstruum — a liquid base used in herbal preparation — to deliver the active compounds from the dried leaf.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient White Mulberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see White Mulberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for white mulberry leaf isn't established yet in the data we hold. The product has been studied for hair loss (androgenic alopecia), bone health (osteoporosis), colds, blood sugar control (diabetes), and cholesterol levels (hyperlipidemia), but all those uses are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research so far hasn't been conclusive enough to make a confident claim.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient White Mulberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

White mulberry leaf is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. In a clinical trial, people taking the powder experienced bloating and flatulence (in about half), loose stools (in a quarter), and constipation (in about a fifth), but these effects tended to ease up over the course of the study — suggesting they may be temporary for some people.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on medicinal amounts of white mulberry leaf, so it's wise to avoid it in concentrated supplement form at those times. As a food, it's considered likely safe, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — White Mulberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 87 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Sang Ye, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on antidiabetes drugs — white mulberry leaf can lower blood sugar and may increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with these medications. Also flag any drugs that use a kidney transport system called OCT2 (metformin is a common one), since the extract may slow their elimination.

Monitor your blood glucose closely if you're on diabetes medication.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Sang Ye may appeal to you if you're interested in herbal support, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't established yet. The bigger practical concern is if you take diabetes medications or metformin — this product can affect blood sugar and how your body clears certain drugs.

Before you start, check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure Sang Ye is appropriate for you.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, white mulberry leaf might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that white mulberry leaf can lower blood glucose levels. Advise patients to monitor glucose levels closely.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Organic Cation Transporter 2 (Oct2) Substrates

Theoretically, white mulberry leaf might slow the elimination and increase the adverse effects of drugs which are OCT2 substrates.
Animal research shows that coadministration of white mulberry leaf extract with metformin, an OCT2 substrate, slows the renal elimination of metformin via inhibition of OCT2 activity. OCT2 is expressed in the kidneys and is responsible for transporting cationic drugs into tubular epithelial cells in order to be excreted in the urine.
