ROSWELL NUTRION BERBERINE HCL 750 Mg 60 Caps

Description

Berberine is a natural alkaloid found in a wide variety of traditional herbs, including goldenseal, barberry, and Oregon grape. Many herbalists credit this unique alkaloid for the benefits of ancient herbal tonics used by indigenous peoples around the world.

Science Supports Historical and Future Benefits
Today, Berberine has emerged from the shadows of herbalism to make a name for itself, regardless of its source. Thousands of studies have been published (with easy online searches) in the past decade, pointing to new applications while providing the rationale for the traditional use of berberine-containing herbs.

Many studies demonstrate the effect of Berberine on smooth tissues, such as those found in the gastrointestinal tract. Others document the alkaloid’s ability to influence metabolic functions and support healthy lipid metabolism—actions that may promote liver health, cardiovascular health, and insulin function with ancillary benefits for healthy weight management, cellular health, and more.

How It Works and What’s Next
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.

Current research is focused on further understanding the potential benefits of Berberine for lipid metabolism as it relates to a variety of applications, including maintaining healthy blood lipids, weight and glucose management, and more. Scientists are also investigating potential benefits for cellular defense and physical comfort.
