Directly sourced botanical derivatives produced under GMP-certified processing standards, optimized for global nutraceutical and functional ingredient applications.
In the contemporary landscape of global functional health, Mulberry Leaf Extract (derived from Morus alba L.) has risen to the forefront of botanical intervention. With metabolic dysregulation and blood sugar fluctuations affecting nearly one-third of the global adult population, functional ingredient procurement managers are actively seeking standardized, bio-available solutions that prevent sharp glucose spikes without pharmaceutical side effects.
The therapeutic efficacy of mulberry extract relies primarily on the iminosugar 1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ). As a structural analog of glucose, 1-DNJ acts as a potent, competitive inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase enzymes in the small intestine. By binding to these digestive enzymes, 1-DNJ temporarily blocks the conversion of complex carbohydrates and disaccharides into absorbable monosaccharides, resulting in significantly flattened postprandial glucose curves. This mechanism of carbohydrate blocking represents a crucial advance in preventative metabolic health and forms the foundation of modern weight management formulations.
Nanjing Tong Rui Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. (TRB) has spent over 20 years optimizing these extraction profiles, ensuring our global buyers receive standardized concentrations of 1-DNJ ranging from 1% up to 10% HPLC. The integration of advanced chromatography and vacuum concentration methods guarantees a pure, stable powder compatible with tableting, capsulation, and functional beverage systems.
Navigating regional compliances, pesticide regulations, and traceability requirements is essential for modern multinational B2B raw material procurement.
Global brands require raw materials that strictly comply with European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) guidelines. Our mulberry extract meets European regulations for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals limits (Pb < 3.0ppm, As < 1.0ppm, Cd < 0.1ppm, Hg < 0.1ppm), and has zero ethylene oxide (EtO) residue.
Consumers demand transparency in sourcing. Nanjing Tong Rui Bio-Tech tracks leaves from their origin in certified agricultural cooperatives directly to our GMP-certified extraction line, ensuring fully documented traceability. Our raw material is non-GMO, allergen-free, and suitable for vegan diets.
A primary challenge in functional beverages is standardizing a soluble powder without cloudiness or sedimentation. TRB's specialized low-temperature vacuum extraction yields a highly water-soluble mulberry powder that remains completely clear and stable across a broad range of pH levels (3.5 to 7.0).
Award-winning global provider combining advanced R&D with industrial-scale extraction capacity.

Best Global Herbal Extract Provider 2026.
Traditional aqueous extraction of Morus alba L. leaves often yields low percentages of active 1-DNJ (usually < 0.5%) and high amounts of simple sugars, which can reduce raw material stability. TRB utilizes a multi-stage, proprietary technical route to deliver high-purity, standardized yields:
Phytochemical Integrity Standard
Every batch of TRB Mulberry Leaf Extract is standardized to contain either 1%, 2%, or 5% 1-DNJ by HPLC-ELSD. In addition, we analyze and verify total flavonoid levels (expressed as Rutin > 5%) to maintain the plant's natural synergistic matrix.
TRB addresses key formulation challenges to help global brand developers speed up their time-to-market.
By controlling the supply chain from raw agricultural material through industrial chromatography, TRB maintains stable B2B pricing. Our high-yield processes reduce raw material costs by up to 20% compared to typical organic-solvent extractions.
We supply custom formulations combining Mulberry Leaf Extract with other key longevity ingredients. Popular blends include combining our extract with anti-aging, brain health, and nootropic compounds like Alpha-GPC and Gotu Kola (Asiaticoside) to support metabolic health and cognitive function.
Natural mulberry extract has a herbaceous flavor that can be strong in liquid formulations. We offer micro-encapsulated powders and natural sweetener pairings (such as stevia or monk fruit extracts from our own catalog) to mask bitter notes in gummies and powdered functional beverages.
TRB's research and development timeline drives continuous improvement in yield, bioavailability, and application utility.
Implementation of ultrafiltration membrane systems to concentrate active iminosugars at ambient temperatures, reducing thermal degradation of 1-DNJ.
Launching lipid-core nanoparticle carriers for 1-DNJ to improve stability and sustained release in functional beverages.
Official recognition at the Global Biotechnology and Life Sciences Awards, recognizing our commitment to standardized quality and process control.
Breeding non-GMO mulberry varieties specifically optimized for higher naturally occurring concentrations of 1-DNJ, reducing input waste.
Direct technical answers addressing the most common concerns of formulation scientists, quality assurance managers, and global purchasers.
Extended botanical catalog representing our broad manufacturing capabilities and commitment to purity across our production lines.
