Berberine HCl
500mg
Berberine – A Plant-Based Extract for Metabolic Wellness
Berberine, traditionally used in herbal practices for gastrointestinal applications, has been extensively studied for its role in metabolic processes. This plant-derived compound is recognized for its ability to influence glucose metabolism and lipid balance.
- Glucose Metabolism: Berberine has been shown in research to influence glucose levels through multiple mechanisms, including its interaction with insulin receptors and enzymatic pathways.
- Lipid Balance: Studies indicate that berberine may contribute to maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Antioxidant Activity: Berberine activates Nrf2, a key regulator of antioxidant responses, and has been examined for its role in addressing oxidative stress.
- Standardized Extract: Each capsule contains 500 mg of berberine HCl, derived from Berberis vulgaris (European barberry), a concentration used in clinical studies on metabolic health.
- This formulation aligns with research-backed approaches to wellness, offering a plant-based option for those focusing on metabolic balance.
