Grant me wisdom to enjoy this food wisely and to keep watching my health with care. I do not lean on any leaf or berry alone, but on You, the Great Physician, for my wellbeing.

⚠️ Cautions
- Mulberry leaf may lower blood sugar; combined with diabetes medication or insulin it can raise the risk of hypoglycemia — monitor levels and consult a doctor before regular use.
- Not a substitute for prescribed diabetes management — persistent high or low blood sugar needs medical care.
- Limited safety data for concentrated mulberry leaf extract in pregnancy or breastfeeding; ordinary amounts of the ripe fruit are generally fine, but check with a doctor about leaf tea or supplements.
- Unripe fruit and other plant parts have been linked to mild stomach upset in some traditional accounts.
