Berberine is a bioactive plant extract with thousands of years of historical use in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It is referred to as a ‘pleiotropic,’ meaning that it influences the activity of many body systems. Berberine is best known for its support in blood sugar balance, but it also supports many biochemical pathways related to longevity and healthy aging. This formula contains BioPerine^® to help boost bioavailability. Cinnamon has been included due to its historical use for the support of healthy metabolic function.*

View Certificate of Analysis

Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Many clinical studies have explored the potential supportive role of berberine in blood glucose homeostasis. Evidence suggests that berberine plays many biochemical roles to support healthy blood sugar: inhibit gluconeogenesis, stimulate glycolysis, help reduce intestinal glucose absorption, and help increase glucose uptake in the liver and muscles.*

Supports healthy aging and longevity. Berberine supports many cellular functions associated with the hallmarks of healthy aging. It helps support mitochondrial integrity through the inhibition of oxidative damage and helps activate AMPK phosphorylation, which in turn helps support cellular energy production. Berberine may also help to support the proliferation of healthy cells.*

Helps maintain cholesterol levels within normal range. A clinical study involving 1000 mg of berberine daily for 12 weeks reported improvements in total cholesterol and HDL-C levels.¹ Berberine may also help support healthy adipogenesis and pathways related to antioxidative status.*

Helps nourish a healthy gut microbiome. Berberine interacts extensively with gut microbiota. Research shows that berberine exhibits a prebiotic-like effect, promoting the growth of Akkermansia (a keystone probiotic) by stimulating gut mucin secretion.*

Stacks well with: CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Krill Oil
