Berberine (120 Capsules)
DESCRIPTION
Berberine belongs to a class of naturally occurring alkaloids found in the roots, rhizomes, and stem bark of a number of plant species. Studies with berberine in people with diabetes show that it exerts multiple beneficial effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. Naturally derived berberine is provided as berberine hydrochloride, the best studied form.
FUNCTIONS
Berberine is a naturally occurring alkaloid and a primary constituent of several plants including barberry, goldenseal, and phellodendron. Recent studies indicate that berberine is a helpful supplement for maintaining cardiometabolic health. Berberine has been shown to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism in vitro and in vivo.
In vivo and in vitro experiments have also shown blood pressure support and vasorelaxatory effects of berberine. The vascular sites for this activity of berberine are not completely clear. It seems that berberine acts on both the endothelium and the underlying vascular smooth muscle to induce vasorelaxation via multiple cellular mechanisms. Berberine’s history of usage in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine dating back approximately 3,000 years has shown to help maintain a healthy microbial balance.
