The Science
What is Berberine?
Berberine is an alkaloid found in plants, like Goldenseal, Barberry, Oregon Grape and Goldthread. It has a rich history of use in traditional herbalism for a number of common purposes, especially to boost blood sugar metabolism and promote healthy weight loss.* Modern research now bolsters what common wisdom told us about berberine.
There are numerous research studies that support Berberine's use as a dietary supplement. In a series of two double-blind studies, Berberine was found to be influential for healthy weight management.*1,2
The form we use comes from Berberis aristata, commonly called Indian barberry.
What Makes Enzymedica Berberine Phytosome® Better?
Enzymedica's Berberine Phytosome® uses ultra absorption phytosome technology. Berberine can be difficult for the body to absorb, which makes it harder to unlock its true benefits. Berbevis® phytosome solves this problem – by boosting bioabsorption 9.6 times compared with standard raw extracts. This unlocks greater potency at a lower dose, allowing for a small, easy-to-swallow capsule.
Where other Berberine products may fall short, Enzymedica’s Berberine is formulated to deliver results! A matrix of ingredients support bioavailability while resolving the issues that raw extracts have. Pea protein is a carrier that supports absorption.* Berberis aristata offers greater solubility than raw Berberine extracts.* Grape seed extract supports the intestinal lining for greater tolerability.* The result is a formula that helps keep your metabolism in balance, naturally.*
What is science saying about Berberine Phytosome?
A human pharmacokinetic study shows Berbevis® improved berberine bioavailability (AUC) by nearly 10 times on molar basis and with observed dose linearity.
Berbevis® Berberine Phytosome is made from the roots of Berberis aristata, and it is standardized to contain between 28% and 34% of Berberine.
