Dried mulberries contain abundant fruit acids, including malic acid, citric acid, and others. These components can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and aid in the breakdown and digestion of food. Meanwhile, the dietary fiber it contains promotes intestinal motility, increases stool volume, helps maintain normal intestinal function, and reduces the occurrence of constipation. In addition, various nutrients in dried mulberries can provide certain nutritional support to the digestive organs, assisting in enhancing digestive capacity, thereby promoting digestion to some extent.
