Full disclosure

Does it work?

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 data we hold shows insufficient evidence to rate white mulberry leaf for androgenic alopecia (hair loss), osteoporosis, common cold, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Evidence simply hasn't been established yet for these uses in our files.

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 as a food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements are less studied and can lower blood sugar — that's something to keep in mind. In clinical trials, the most common side effects were bloating and flatulence (about half of participants), loose stools (a quarter), and constipation (one in five).

The good news is these tend to ease up over time. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on medicinal amounts, so they should be avoided.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 this, run a check on any antidiabetes medications you're on — white mulberry can lower blood sugar and increase the risk of it dropping too low. Also check any drugs that are OCT2 substrates, including metformin, as the supplement may slow how your body clears them.

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.

White Mulberry might appeal to you if you're looking for a traditional herbal supplement, but it's not proven effective for the conditions in our data. If you take antidiabetes drugs or medications cleared by your kidneys, you need to check with us first — this supplement can affect how your body handles them.

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.
