The Study
A ready-to-mix nutraceutical supplement (GLUBLOC) lowers postprandial blood glucose levels in healthy individuals — A randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover study
This study showed that when healthy people ate sugary food with this supplement, their blood sugar didn't spike as high. It's like testing if a new snack slows down sugar rush — and it did. But it doesn't prove it works for everyone or fixes health problems.
Analysis score
Maximum 90 for a randomized controlled trial.
Where the score came from
This study tested a powder made from mulberry leaves and apple peels that you mix into food to see if it helps keep blood sugar from shooting up after eating sugary meals.

Key takeaways
Summary
Based on the study abstract and findings.
- 1Yes — this means your blood sugar doesn't crash and burn after eating pasta or sweets, which could help reduce hunger and energy crashes.
- 2The powder lowered blood sugar spikes by 40-45% after meals and made the peak happen later and lower.

GLUBLOC lowers the highest blood glucose level and delays when blood glucose peaks after eating a high-carbohydrate meal in healthy adults, which reflects a slower rate of carbohydrate digestion and absorption.
A supplement containing white mulberry leaf and apple peel extracts, taken with a high-carb meal, reduces the rise in blood glucose by 40-45% over two hours in healthy adults by slowing the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates.
When healthy adults take GLUBLOC with a high-carbohydrate meal, no major gastrointestinal side effects occur.
Eating carbohydrates that digest quickly leads to a sharp rise in blood sugar, followed by a drop below normal levels and an increase in hunger.
GLUBLOC blocks two digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates, resulting in lower blood glucose levels after meals.
