Potential Benefits of Berberis Aristata Berberine*
What is Berberine ?
Berberine is an alkaloid derived from isoquinoline.
Berberine is naturally found in certain plants, including Indian barberry (Berberis aristata, also known as daruharidra in Ayurveda), as well as common barberry (Berberis vulgaris), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and Chinese goldthread (Coptis chinensis).
Berberine has long been valued in the Asian pharmacopoeia.
Potential Benefits of Berberine for Blood Sugar and Cholesterol*
Numerous scientific studies have explored the potential health benefits of berberine, suggesting it may help support:
- Healthy blood sugar levels by promoting glucose metabolism and influencing glucose production in the liver, primarily through AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) activation.* Berberine has been widely studied in this area with promising results.*
- Lipid metabolism by influencing cholesterol absorption in the gut and its regulation in the bloodstream, while also promoting a balanced lipid profile.*
- Microbial balance by interacting with microbial cell membranes and influencing DNA and protein synthesis, which may help regulate microbial growth.*
- Cellular health and longevity through AMPK activation, which plays a role in cellular metabolism, oxidative stress reduction, and autophagy, the body's natural recycling process.*
The 4 Key Benefits of Our Highly Absorbable Berberine*
The supplement Berberine Max Bioactivity stands out in 4 key aspects:*
- Its enhanced bioavailability: Berberine Max Bioactivity is formulated for greater absorption compared to standard berberine supplements.* Typically, raw berberine extract has limited oral bioavailability and bioabsorption. The advanced delivery system, Indena Phytosome™, is specifically designed with berberine’s characteristics in mind. This system utilizes pea protein as a carrier, raw extract of Berberis aristata, which is more soluble than pure berberine, and grape seed extract, a natural antioxidant that helps support gut health and tolerability.*
- Its patented and scientifically studied ingredient: Berbevis™ is a patented ingredient supported by scientific studies on bioabsorption.* Research has evaluated its effectiveness in comparison to other berberine delivery technologies.*
- Its well-calibrated dose: Berberine Max Bioactivity provides a daily dose of 1100 mg of Berbevis™ extract (including 310 mg of berberine) to support optimal intake in a safe and well-tolerated manner.*
- Its natural format: Berberine Max Bioactivity comes in the form of vegetarian capsules, with just one 100% natural excipient: acacia gum.*
