Powdered Kuwa leaves seem to lower blood sugar in people who have type 2 diabetes.
One of the most unique qualities of the Kuwa Leaf is that it contains a natural compound called 1-deoxynojirimycin (1DNJ) that inhibits carbohydrates, starches, and sucrose absorption in the intestinal track resulting, blood sugar control. By preventing large amounts of monosaccharide from entering into the blood circulation, Kuwa Leaves helps to address conditions associated with diabetes.
