A healthy food supplement that supports fat burning and overall health.
They are based on berberine to which bitter melon and banaba leaf have been added.
Berberine (also known as berberine hydrochloride) is a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid found in a wide variety of herbs, including goldenrod, barberry, golden thread, Oregon grape, and tree turmeric.
Within these plants, the alkaloid berberine can be found in the stem, bark, roots, and rhizomes (root-like underground stems) of the plants. It has a rich yellow color - so much so that it is used as a natural dye.
It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diabetes naturally for centuries. This compound also has a long history of use to treat bacterial gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and other digestive ailments.
Alkaloids are defined as a class of organic compounds of plant origin containing mostly basic nitrogen atoms. Their consumption can have a pronounced beneficial effect on cardiovascular and metabolic health.
A growing body of research is finding evidence that berberine's benefits may include protection against:
Berberine is one of the few compounds that is capable of activating adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (or AMPK). AMPK is an enzyme in the cells of the human body that is often called the "master switch of metabolism" because it plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism.
AMPK activation enhances fat burning in the mitochondria, which is why studies show that berberine can help stop the accumulation of fat in the human body and protect against metabolic syndrome.
