SUPPLEMENT FACTS
PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Metabolic Support

Berberine is a powerful metabolic compound with marked effects on blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and cholesterol. It works by activating the same cellular pathway as metformin – the most-prescribed type 2 diabetes medication. Because of this, check with your doctor if you take any prescription medications for blood sugar, cholesterol, or blood thinning.

USAGE 2 capsules before a meal.
BEHIND THE SCIENCE

Berberine works because it activates AMPK – the enzyme your cells use to monitor their own energy state. When AMPK switches on, your body responds the same way it does to exercise and caloric restriction: glucose uptake improves, fat burning increases, and the liver slows its production of new glucose. Metformin, the world's most prescribed diabetes drug, works through this same pathway. That's not a marketing claim – it's why Berberine appears across metabolic research worldwide.

What the research shows.

Head-to-head trials comparing berberine to metformin have found similar reductions in fasting blood glucose and HbA1c over 3-month periods. Separate research shows meaningful reductions in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. These are the same outcomes cardiometabolic medications target – at a fraction of the cost, without a prescription.

Why 1200mg matters.

Most of the positive clinical research has used 1500mg/day across three doses. This formula delivers 1200mg – close to the research dose in a two-capsule serving. Many berberine products run 500mg and call it a day.

One important note.

If you're on medication for blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood thinning, check the Safety Information section before starting.

Things to know before taking

Important: read before use
Berberine inhibits the CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 liver enzymes that metabolize many prescription drugs, lowers blood glucose, and can elevate INR (the blood-thinning effect of warfarin). Consult your physician before use if you take statins, diabetes medications, blood thinners, or other prescription medications metabolized by the liver. Contraindicated in pregnancy.
