🧠2. Mulberry Compounds Interfere With a Process Associated With Alzheimer’s Disease
Mulberry leaves contain polyphenols and other compounds with neuroprotective activity.
Experimental research shows Mulberry-leaf constituents can interfere with the aggregation and neurotoxicity of amyloid-beta, the protein that accumulates into plaques in Alzheimer’s disease.
Other experimental work reports protection of neurons from oxidative injury and neuroinflammation.
That doesn’t mean Mulberry treats Alzheimer’s disease—but it gives this ordinary fruit tree a surprisingly serious connection to brain research.
