Can I take this product if I am diabetic?
Yes, but if you have diabetes talk to your doctor or pharmacist prior to use, since mulberry leaf extract
also affects blood glucose levels.
Will it help me lose weight?
Yes, it will, in 3 ways:
- Mulberry leaves help you absorb less of the carbohydrates you consume (by blocking the enzyme that breaks down the carbs)
- Consequently, lower blood sugar levels help reduce insulin, a fat storing hormone, which in turn helps to store less fat and rathe help mobilizing it.
- Healthy blood sugar levels help reduce cravings
What do mulberries do?
Mulberry leaves contain a component called 1-DNJ, which interfere with the enzymes that normally break
down carbohydrates which are normally absorbed by the body and raise blood glucose levels. Therefore, with 1-DNJ in your diet less carbohydrates can be
broken down and less calories become available for your body. This also helps promote healthy blood glucose levels.
Do I have to take this product before a snack or just meals?
Take Zuccarin Diet before meals or snacks that contain carbohydrates (pasta, bread, rice, etc.), since
the product helps to decrease the absorption of carbohydrates. However, we recommend not to exceed the maximum daily dosage of 3 tablets per day.
Does this product help to cut cravings?
Yes, it helps to reduce the absorption of carbohydrates from meals, and this in turn affects blood glucose and insulin levels. When blood glucose and insulin levels are kept at a healthy stable level, this will help with cravings as well.
How long will it take to show visible weight loss?
In the mulberry study, participants lost approximately 10% of their initial body weight (~9 kg) over a 3 months period, compared to placebo (lost only 3% or ~ 3kg). both groups also followed a calorie restricted diet, but the mulberry group lost significantly more weight than the control group.
Is it as effective if I take only 2 tablets instead of 3 per day?
Yes, even with only 2 tablets per day, mulberry leaf extract still works by reducing the absorption of carbohydrates from a meal. So, each time you take Zuccarin Diet you end up absorbing a little less carbohydrates (calories) from your meal. With time this effect accumulates to a lesser overall calorie absorption, which makes a difference over time.
