To receive the maximum beneficial effect we recommend you take your Berberine 20-30 minutes prior to a meal, 2 to 3 times daily. However, Berberine like many supplements can cause an upset stomach and you may find it easier on your stomach to take it immediately after your meal.
Unlike the far cheaper Berberine HCL most manufacturers use, our Berberine Sulfate can provide an additional positive benefit to your body. Once the sulfate group is cleaved from our revolutionary Berberine Sulfate, it can participate in phase II detoxification conjugation reactions in the liver.
For most people, Berberine yields an improvement in their glucose levels after a few weeks of regular use. Every individual is different however and your results may vary. Our advice is to stay committed to Berberine for at least 30 days and you should begin to see positive improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels that already in normal range in due time. One interesting thing to note about Berberine is that it is “normoglycemic” which means that it tends to provide a bigger benefit to individuals whose blood sugar levels are further than normal than it does to those whose blood sugar levels are near normal.
Rich History of Traditional Medicine Uses Berberine is naturally found in the stems, bark and roots of plants with rich herbal medicine traditions. Berberine-containing herbals have found a place in traditional health practices around the world. Goldenseal, for instance, was popular in Native American traditions. Chinese Goldthread remains a valued ingredient in traditional Chinese herbal preparations. Other natural sources of Berberine include Hydrastis Canadensis (goldenseal), Berberis vulgaris (barberry), Berberis aquifolium (Oregon grape) and Berberis aristata (Indian Barberry). Our Berberine is naturally extracted from the roots of Berberis aristata (Indian Barberry or Tree Turmeric) which is considered to be the best, most potent source. Berberine is favored among herbalists because for generations it appears to have helped support overall cardiovascular health. However, what makes Berberine special and distinguishes it from other supplements is that it has shown itself to support healthy cholesterol and glucose levels already within the normal range. This dual action sets Berberine apart as other supplements focus on either cholesterol or glucose support only. With Berberine you are giving your heart and cardiovascular system a double dose of herbal love. More Active Form LEAN Nutraceuticals Berberine capsules deliver a guaranteed pure Berberine HCl, naturally derived from berberis aristata (Indian barberry or tree turmeric). Our Berberine Sulfate provides enhanced performance. This is because once the sulfate group is cleaved from Berberine Sulfate, it can participate in phase II detoxification conjugation reactions in the liver. Research Supports Ancient Healing Traditions and Finds New Uses.
Today, Berberine has emerged from the annals of traditional herbal medicines to stake its claim as a cardiovascular powerhouse through dozens of published studies (just search online).
Many studies demonstrate Berberine’s positive effect on the GI tract. Others document Berberine extract’s ability to positively influence metabolic functions and support healthy lipid metabolism. This, in turn, may promote liver health, cardiovascular health and insulin function with additional secondary and tertiary benefits for healthy weight management, cellular health and more.
Studies indicate that many of the positive benefits observed with Berberine may be related to its interaction AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) an important enzyme that is expressed in a number of tissues, including the liver, brain, and skeletal muscle. As a systemic enzyme, AMPK influences how the body creates and uses cellular energy. It is through these pathways that Berberine appears to have its effect on a variety of metabolic processes and cellular health attributes.
Looking forward, researchers are continuing to study Berberine in the hopes of further understanding its potential benefits for lipid metabolisms such as glucose management, healthy blood lipid metabolism and cholesterol management.
What You Should Expect For most people Berberine yields an improvement in their glucose levels after a couple of weeks of regular use. Every individual is different however and your results may vary. Our advice is to stay committed to Berberine for at least 30 days and you should begin to see positive improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in due time.
