Potential Benefits of Berberine from Berberis Aristata*
What is Berberine ?
Berberine is a natural plant alkaloid derived from isoquinoline found in certain species, including Indian barberryBerberis aristata – also known as daruharidra in Ayurveda), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), or Chinese goldthread (Coptis chinensis).*
It seems to have a long history of use across wellness traditions, especially in the Asian pharmacopeia, and appears to be gaining interest in the scientific community for its potential metabolic and cellular benefits.*
Potential Benefits of Berberine for Blood Sugar and Cholesterol*
Numerous scientific studies seem to have explored the potential health benefits of berberine, suggesting it may help support:*
- Healthy blood sugar levels by possibly promoting glucose metabolism and healthy glucose production pathways, including its interaction with AMPK, a potentially key enzyme involved in cellular energy regulation.*
- Lipid balance: by eventually influencing cholesterol absorption in the gut and its regulation in the bloodstream, while promoting a balanced lipid profile by acting on the way fats are processed and absorbed.*
- Microbiome harmony: by possibly interacting with microbial cell membranes and influencing DNA and protein synthesis, potentially helping to regulate microbial growth.*
- Cellular wellness and longevity: through AMPK activation, which may help support cellular energy management, oxidative stress response, and natural recycling processes such as autophagy – potentially important for maintaining cellular vitality over time.*
4 Potential Key Benefits of our Absorbable Berberine*
Our Berberine Max Bioactivity supplement feature 4 key aspects, potentially making it a good supplement choice:*
- Possible enhanced absorption: formulated with Indena Phytosome™ delivery system, pea protein as a carrier, raw extract of Berberis aristata – that may be more soluble than pure berberine –, and grape seed extract that might help improve absorption and gut comfort.*
- Patented Berbevis™: a proprietary extract from Berberis aristata, probably supported by bioavailability research and designed for effective supplementation.*
- Potentially effective dosage: should deliver 1,100 mg of Berbevis™ extract per day, including 310 mg of berberine for comprehensive support.*
- Natural format: offered in vegetarian capsules with acacia gum as the only excipient.*
