Berberine is shown to support healthy blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipid levels, overall general health and healthy weight management. In Bio-Berberine Complex, the benefits of berberine are further enhanced by the addition of Origine 8 green tea extract and chromium, which can improve insulin sensitivity and enhance protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
Berberine is an alkaloid present in a number of plants. Its history dates back 3 000 years, when it was used in traditional Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic medicine, yet today it has fast become one of the most researched plant extracts and remains in the scientific spotlight.
Whilst berberine has a series of benefits, one of its most significant benefits relates to metabolic syndrome conditions. This is because berberine is one of the few compounds known to activate AMPK, which is an enzyme inside your body s cells, and is sometimes called a metabolic master switch because it plays an important role in regulating metabolism. The unique way in which berberine acts on the body makes it a useful botanical for the support of blood sugar balance.
Studies indicate that berberine works via multiple mechanisms, including decreasing insulin resistance, making the insulin hormone that lowers your blood sugar work more effectively. In addition, berberine encourages decreased sugar production in your liver and helps your body break down sugars in your cells. As such berberine supports healthy blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipid levels as well as overall general health. An additional benefit is that berberine may support healthy weight management as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle plan.
In every capsule of Bio-Berberine Complex, the benefits of berberine are further enhanced by 25 mg of Origine 8 – a highly bioavailable, liposome-infused, polyphenol-rich green tea extract – and 25 g chromium, an essential trace mineral that can improve insulin sensitivity and enhance protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
