Glucose Management with Berberine HCI

Berberine is a bioactive compound found naturally in many plants. It has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine, and now, modern science suggests that it may have impressive benefits for many health concerns. In particular, Berberine has been shown to lower blood sugar, increase weight loss, and improve heart health. 

Adding Berberine to your weight loss program can provide additional support and may enhance results when used in conjunction with a healthy eating plan.

There’s evidence that Berberine may*:

• Lower and regulate blood sugar levels – Berberine may decrease insulin resistance, making the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin, more effective at moving glucose into the cells where berberine aids in breaking down the sugar.
  
• Help with weight loss – Berberine acts at the cellular level, providing cells with the glucose they need which can lead to feeling less hungry and eating less.
  
• Reduce the risk of heart disease – Berberine may improve levels of blood lipids such as lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol. When used in combination with hypertension medication, it could further lower blood pressure.
  
• Increase “good” gut bacteria – Berberine may help balance intestinal health by reducing harmful bacteria and encouraging good bacteria to grow, while also protecting the gut barrier from sources of inflammation.

Protocol For Life Balance® explains how it works:  Berberine is a natural constituent of herbs such as goldenseal, Oregon grape, and barberry. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Berberine helps to support already normal glucose and lipid metabolism. Berberine is, however, known for its limited bioavailability; therefore, this product includes Caprate (C10, a Medium Chain Triglyceride) to promote optimal absorption and maintenance of gastrointestinal comfort during Berberine supplementation. NATUROKINETICS® (NK) is a compilation of scientific data that details how nutrients and natural substances are absorbed, distributed, metabolized by, and eliminated from the body. Protocol For Life Balance® products are fully tested in our cGMP-inspected facilities to meet or exceed label claims.
