HelloPharmacist Scorecard of White Mulberry Leaf Extract by NusaPure

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: white mulberry leaf extract. It's paired with inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice powder — which serve as capsule filler and binder.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see White Mulberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: blood sugar and cholesterol support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), metabolic health, cardiovascular health.
  • The closest evidence on file: White Mulberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: White Mulberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hyperlipidemia, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes).

The effectiveness data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate white mulberry leaf for the conditions studied: androgenic alopecia (hair loss), osteoporosis, common cold, diabetes, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). That means the clinical evidence isn't robust enough yet to say whether it works for these uses — not that it definitely doesn't.

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 orally. The most common side effects are mild digestive issues: bloating, gas, loose stools, and constipation.

One clinical trial found these affected a meaningful number of participants early on — about half experienced bloating or gas, a quarter had loose stools, and a fifth had constipation — but the good news is these effects often faded over the course of treatment. There isn't enough safety data to recommend this supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

The safety information we hold advises against medicinal amounts in both cases. Because the supplement can lower blood sugar, use caution if you're at risk for low blood glucose.

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 you take NusaPure White Mulberry Leaf Extract, double-check with your pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas) or any OCT2 substrate medications. Altogether, these interactions span 86 individual medications.

If you're on blood sugar–lowering therapy, close glucose monitoring is essential.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

White mulberry leaf extract might appeal to you if you're interested in blood sugar support or cholesterol management, but the evidence for these uses hasn't been firmly established yet. If you take antidiabetes medications or drugs cleared through the kidney's OCT2 transporter, talk with your pharmacist before starting — the blood sugar interaction is real and needs monitoring.

Same goes for pregnancy and breastfeeding: check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

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.

White Mulberry Leaf Extract by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does White Mulberry Leaf Extract by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, White Mulberry Leaf Extract has a known interaction with 87 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
White Mulberry Leaf Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this lower my blood sugar if I don't have diabetes?
White mulberry leaf can lower blood glucose in general, so it's theoretically possible. The safety information we hold recommends caution because of this blood sugar–lowering effect. If you're not on diabetes medication and don't have blood sugar concerns, the risk is probably lower — but it's worth discussing with your pharmacist based on your individual health picture.
What are the most common side effects?
Digestive upset: bloating, gas, loose stools, and constipation. One trial found these in a decent number of people at the start, but they often eased up over time. The supplement itself seems well tolerated overall.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data, and the evidence we hold advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
Does this actually work for high cholesterol or diabetes?
The clinical evidence we hold is insufficient to say either way. Studies haven't established reliable proof that it works for these conditions yet, so don't count on it as a primary treatment.
What's in the capsule besides the mulberry extract?
Cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice powder — these are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together. No hidden active ingredients.
