Top picks by evidence
- Moderate evidence4 studies
Across 4 randomized controlled trials, 3 reported beneficial effects of white mulberry on reducing postprandial glucose, with effect sizes ranging from small to large. Doses varied widely (from 2.90 mg to 1.5 g per 100 g carbohydrate) and no consistent form was used. The evidence suggests a potential benefit, but the magnitude of effect is mixed across studies.
- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, 1 reported a moderate beneficial effect of black cumin on reduced postprandial glucose, while 2 found neutral effects. The median study duration was 60 days (8.5 weeks). The most-studied dose range spans 200 to 4600 mg/day, with the only beneficial finding coming from a large meta-analysis of 5026 participants. Effects were predominantly neutral, with one moderate beneficial result.
