Berberine - 50 Capsules 500mg

Berberine is a chemical found in some plants like European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, phellodendron, and tree turmeric It has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine.

 It is one of the most effective natural supplements available. It has very impressive health benefits, and affects your body at the molecular level.

Berberine has been shown to lower blood sugar, cause weight loss and improve heart health, to name a few.

It is one of the few supplements shown to be as effective as a pharmaceutical drug.

This is a detailed review of berberine and its health effects.

How it works

Berberine has now been tested in hundreds of different studies.

It has been shown to have powerful effects on many different biological systems

After you ingest berberine, it gets taken in by the body and transported into the bloodstream. Then it travels into the body’s cells.

Inside the cells, it binds to several different “molecular targets” and changes their function, t is similar to how pharmaceutical drugs work.

One of the main actions of berberine is to activate an enzyme inside cells called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) 

This enzyme is sometimes referred to as a “metabolic master switch” 

It is found in the cells of various organs, including the brain, muscle, kidney, heart and liver. This enzyme plays a major role in regulating metabolism 

Berberine also affects various other molecules inside cells, and may even affect which genes are turned on or off Read 

Blood Sugar Levels

Type 2 diabetes is a serious disease that has become incredibly common in recent decades, causing millions of deaths every year.

It is characterized by elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels, either caused by insulin resistance or lack of insulin.

Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage the body’s tissues and organs, leading to various health problems and a shortened lifespan.

Many studies show that berberine can significantly reduce blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes

In fact, its effectiveness is comparable to the popular diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) 

It seems to work via multiple different mechanisms 

• Decreases insulin resistance, making the blood sugar lowering hormone insulin more effective.
• Increases glycolysis, helping the body break down sugars inside cells.
• Decrease sugar production in the liver.
• Slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut.
• Increases the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

 Weight loss
While berberine is not a magic weight-loss pill, it may help people with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 lose weight. Two studies have shown that taking a berberine supplement over the course of three months results in significant weight loss

In a 12-week study in obese individuals, 500 mg taken three times per day caused about 5 pounds of weight loss, on average. The participants also lost 3.6% of their body fat (1).

Another more impressive study was conducted in 37 men and women with metabolic syndrome. This study went on for 3 months, and the participants took 300 mg, 3 times per day.

The participants dropped their body mass index (BMI) levels from 31.5 to 27.4, or from obese to overweight in only 3 months. They also lost belly fat and improved many health markers (2).

The researchers believe that the weight loss is caused by improved function of fat-regulating hormones, such as insulin, adiponectin and leptin.

However, more research is needed on the weight loss effects of berberine.

Lowers Cholesterol and Heart Disease 

Heart disease is currently the world’s most common cause of premature death.

Many factors that can be measured in the blood are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

As it turns out, berberine has been shown to improve many of these factors.

According to a review of 11 studies, it can 

• Lower total cholesterol by 0.61 mmol/L (24 mg/dL).
• Lower LDL cholesterol by 0.65 mmol/L (25 mg/dL).
• Lower blood triglycerides by 0.50 mmol/L (44 mg/dL).
• Raise HDL cholesterol by 0.05 mmol/L (2 mg/dL).

 

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

This is considered a critical hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Berberine  exerts anti-hyperglycemic and anti-dyslipidemic effects and can also ameliorate NAFLD. Berberine exerts its therapeutic effect on NAFLD by improving glucolipid metabolism.
