Drinking it can have a positive effect on lowering cholesterol levels. This is due to the presence of compounds called “stilbenoids” in mulberry leaves. These compounds help to reduce the absorption of LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) in the gut.
Mulberry tea has also been shown to increase levels of HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol). In one study, rats given mulberry leaf extract had a significant increase in HDL cholesterol levels
So mulberry tea could potentially help to lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol, which could help to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Studies suggest that mulberry tea may be effective in reducing cholesterol levels, however, more research is needed to confirm these effects in humans, but it’s becoming clear the news is very positive and we look forward to new evidence in the months and years ahead.
