Need help with your weight loss?
Berberine is extracted from barberry root, a plant from the Berberis family. It has been traditionally used for over 2,500 years in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.
Diet plays an important role in glucose management, and it was shown in a study that if we add berberine to better lifestyle habits, fasting glucose level, postprandial glucose level (after meals) as well as the glycated hemoglobin level, improved more quickly.
Berberine mimics the action of insulin. A meta-analysis based on 27 clinical trials, published in 2015 concluded its effectiveness in “improving type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension” without causing the slightest side effects!
As people age, they complain of an increase in their weight. “My metabolism slows down,” they say. Berberine activates an enzyme called AMPK. This enzyme determines body fat composition and its cellular activation has been shown to decrease over time.
Also, berberine stimulates the secretion of a hormone called GLP-1. This hormone is secreted in the intestine in response to food ingestion. This hormone reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying (satiety effect) and stimulates insulin production.
Thanks to these actions that several clinical studies have demonstrated that two daily doses of 500 mg of berberine helped improve insulin sensitivity, body weight, waist circumference, blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels, triglycerides.
Additionally, berberine is said to promote the balance of intestinal flora, a valuable health benefit.
Need help achieving your goal? Or that of healthy and lasting weight loss? Do you have irresistible cravings for sweet, fatty and salty foods? To lose weight, berberine is what we nickname “natural Ozempic”.
To your good health!
