FUNCTIONS
Berberine is a naturally occurring alkaloid and a primary constituent of several plants including barberry, goldenseal, and phellodendron. Recent studies indicate that berberine is a helpful supplement for maintaining cardiometabolic health and is considered effective and safe. Berberine has been shown to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism in vitro and in vivo. In several clinical trials, berberine supplementation for three months resulted in healthy blood glucose and cholesterol levels.
Each vegetarian capsule contains:
Berberine HCl ........... 500 mg (from Berberis aristata extract, root)
Alpha lipoic acid ......50 mg
Grape Seed extract ... 50 mg
Other ingredients: Cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, vegetable stearate and silica. INDICATIONS Berberine Balance is a useful dietary supplement for those individuals who wish to support blood glucose metabolism and/or cholesterol maintenance.
Suggested Use:
Adults take 1 capsule twice daily or as directed by your health care professional.
Side Effects:May cause gastrointestinal adverse effects in some individuals. Berberine may increase bilirubin levels. Berberine displaces bilirubin from albumin and increases total and unbound bilirubin concentrations.
Drug Interactions: Berberine appears to undergo phase I hepatic metabolism. There is preliminary evidence that berberine might inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4, 2C9, 2D6 enzymes. Therefore, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes in patients taking berberine.
