Berberine is favored among herbalists because it may help support
overall cardiovascular health.* Specifically, berberine has been shown
to support healthy cholesterol and glucose levels already within the
normal range.* This combined action sets berberine apart from other
herbal supplements or specialized heart health formulas that typically
focus on either glucose or cholesterol health, but not both. Give your
heart an extra serving of support with this berberine supplement.Rich Traditional Origins
Berberine-
containing herbals have found a place in traditional health practices
around the world. Goldenseal, for instance, was popular in Native
American traditions. Phellodendron remains a valued ingredient in
traditional Chinese herbal preparations. Barberry is a traditional
European herbal. Found in the stems, bark and roots of these plants,
Berberine is now believed to be the most instrumental ingredient behind
the multi-faceted benefits of these various herbal traditions.Science Supports Historical & Future Benefits
Today, Berberine has emerged from the shadows of its herbal carriers to
gain a name for itself, regardless of its source. Thousands of studies
have been published (easily searchable online) within the last decade,
and they point toward new applications while providing rationale for the
traditional use of Berberine-containing herbs.How it Works & What’s to Come
Scientists
now believe that many of the benefits observed with Berberine may be
related to its action on an important enzyme known as AMPK (adenosine
monophosphate-activated protein kinase). AMPK is a systemic enzyme that
influences how the body creates and uses cellular energy. This action
has a cascading effect on a wide variety of metabolic processes,
cellular health and more.* AMPK activation is now believed to be the
central mechanism of action behind Berberine’s benefits.
