Support Glucose Metabolism with Berberine

Glucose plays a big role in our health. It's a necessary source of energy, but at unbalanced levels, glucose can have serious - and dangerous - effects on our well-being. Support healthy glucose metabolism with Berberine by Thorne Research.

Berberine is a natural alkaloid found in many plants, including Oregon grape, goldenseal, coptis, barberry, and tree turmeric. It has been a staple in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for an array of purposes.

Among its most noteworthy applications are its benefits for glucose metabolism, weight management, insulin sensitivity, lipid levels, and cardiac support. Berberine works with the body to support the activity of AMPK, a compound that regulates metabolism.

Increased AMPK activity can cause the liver to produce less glucose and cause the cells to uptake more glucose. It may also slow the release of fatty acids to lower lipid levels, and encourage the burning of fat by the mitochondria.

Berberine also has natural properties that may help the immune system fight bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other infections. It may also help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora for proper digestion, nutrient absorption, immune system activity, and overall health.

Take care of your overall health by getting a handle on glucose metabolism. Order Berberine today!
