Morus · Mulberries

Morus, specifically Morus alba, is a traditional plant with origins in East Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented across various Eastern medicinal practices. Scientifically, Morus alba demonstrates diverse biological activities such as metabolic regulation, anti-inflammatory effects, neuroprotection, and renal function support. While studies indicate that mulberry leaf supplementation can improve glycemic control, the evidence for significant impacts on renal or cardiovascular markers is limited. Additionally, intercropping with specific cultivars of Morus alba has shown to influence cadmium accumulation in maize through rhizosphere regulation. Safety-wise, no major issues have been reported, and there are currently no recorded drug interactions associated with this plant.
