Inspired by the Chinese traditional medicine, the extract from the desert berry (Nitraria
roborowskii Kom) has been found to restore insulin activity and stabilize metabolism in
mice[1] .

This desert berry is resistant to salty soils and grows across central Asia, including
China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. It can be found in dried-up lake beds, desert margins,
or edges of oases. It is 1 to 2 meters tall and produces red fruits, as shown above.

It is used in traditional Chinese medicine, especially in Xijiang, for diabetes, metabolic
support, inflammation control, cardiovascular health, and other conditions, but a closer
look at its clinical effectiveness found it to be effective in diabetes in rodents.

Researchers used an extract of this berry in diabetic mice for 7 weeks, and it improved
insulin sensitivity by about 50%, lowered oxidative stress markers by 60%, and balanced cholesterol levels. On further examination, the secret behind its mode of action
has been revealed. It reactivates a signaling pathway impaired in diabetes. Mice treated
with this desert berry extract showed improvement in the health of their livers and
pancreases.

Before people with diabetes jump on using the extracts of this fruit, human trials need to
be conducted. Many promising therapies in mice don t translate into effectiveness in
humans. It will take some time before the validity of this therapy on people is known.
