If you’ve been hearing a lot about berberine lately, there's a good reason for it. Found in many plants, including the root and bark of Indian Barberry, or Berberis aristata, berberine has been recommended in traditional practice for centuries and by health practitioners for decades. In more recent years, Berberine has been discovered by the rest of the world for its incredible support of healthy blood glucose levels, which is also an increasingly popular topic. It supports the body’s process of glycolysis—the release of energy from sugars–and by doing so, helps maintain a healthy metabolism. Additionally, berberine supports healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, optimal liver function, joint health, and overall metabolic support in general.*†
In other words, berberine does just about everything.
In fact, current research beyond metabolic-related factors has found that berberine may also support cognitive health and brain function. For anyone who wants to stay mentally sharp and focused, it’s all the more reason to add berberine to your daily regimen.*
So, how do you choose your berberine? That depends on what you’re looking for.
For example, the traditional berberine used by practitioners was at least 500 mg per day. This is the level that showed clinical results, although some studies would push that up to about 1,500 mg daily. The reason for the range is that for some people, berberine can be a challenge to absorb. However, because the compound also has such a great track record in its traditional dosage, there are many who would like to stick with it. 
If that sounds like you, consider our original Berberine 500 mg in vegan capsules.
But, berberine on its own can be difficult to absorb—as little as 1% might make it into the bloodstream—so you may want to upgrade to an even stronger supplement. If you're interested in an advanced form of berberine, Berberine MetX™ Extra Strength is for you. It combines Berberine with GammaSorb® to help deliver amazing results.
GammaSorb is a plant-based material that has been shown to increase the absorption of certain hard to absorb (fat soluble) dietary ingredients, in some cases by as much as 8 times. In other words, it takes an already-amazing compound and makes it even more amazing. With either option, you’ll appreciate the benefits of a trusted source of berberine that truly delivers for optimal metabolic health, every day.*
