FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Metabolic-support ingredient sourcing FAQ.
Are all mulberry leaf extracts directly comparable?
No. Compare species, plant part, extraction ratio, DNJ target when applicable, analytical method and carrier.
What should buyers confirm for cinnamon extract?
Confirm the cinnamon species, bark or other plant part, marker definition, extraction solvent and sensory profile.
How should berberine ingredients be compared?
Compare botanical source, purity basis, analytical method, residual-solvent limits, bitterness and dosage-form fit.
Do raw ingredients establish blood-sugar claims?
No. Finished-product claims, dosage and regulatory suitability require assessment for the complete formula and destination market.
