Berberine 500mg

Berberine TPGS is a well-researched combination of ingredients that provides a significantly higher Berberine absorption and utilization than standard berberine products.

Berberine is an alkaloid present in several plants such as Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), Oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium), Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) and Chinese Goldthread (Coptis chinensis). Recent studies of Berberine were carried out establishing clearly that Berberine has a therapeutic use in metabolic syndrome, to control high blood sugar and HBA1c levels.

Berberine is poorly absorbed through the bowel wall so high doses are needed to achieve therapeutic results. In addition, Berberine is degraded by stomach acid. Berberine TPGS is encapsulated in delay release (DR) capsules to minimize the impact of stomach acid. It also contains a supportive blend of ingredients that significantly improve absorption, bio-availability and utilization. Therefore, lower dosages of this Berberine product provide increased efficacy. This also means less probability for gastrointestinal discomfort.

Berberine TPGS targets to control glucose metabolism in part by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and by increasing expression of insulin receptors and therefore reducing insulin resistance. The activation of AMPK tells the body to burn fats for energy which can assist with weight loss.

Berberine may be prescribed by your Sano Via /  Medicor practitioner as part of your treatment. In this case it is not HST taxable. Please see Excise Tax Act for details.
