Product description

Berberine Phytosome & Chromium has been expertly formulated by Igennus nutrition scientists to provide dual action support for metabolic support. This unique supplement is enriched with grape seed extract to ensure it is well tolerated by the stomach, minimizing gut irritation often experienced with standard berberine. This clean label berberine supplement has no unnecessary additives, and we only use hypoallergenic ingredients.*

Berberine is sourced from the roots of the Indian Barberry Berberis aristata, and is gently extracted using water. Standardized to 28-34% and utilizing a phytosome delivery system, it is highly bioavailable. Each capsule provides a potent dose of berberine with chromium. Formulated for everyday use, simply take one daily before food. For intensive support, take 1 capsule twice daily before meals.*

To overcome the poor bioavailability of standard berberine, we use Berbevis Berberine Phytosome. The phytosome delivery system contains a food-grade matrix with lecithin and pea protein to enhance solubility. This optimizes absorption of berberine by 10 times. To further enhance bioavailability, this formula also contains polyphenols from grape seed extract. The polyphenols can prevent berberine from travelling back into the intestines after absorption.*

Berberine phytosome and chromium picolinate have complementary mechanisms of action for increased benefits. We use chelated trivalent chromium picolinate, a highly stable compound. The addition of chromium to this dual-action formula supports healthy metabolic balance.*

We use researched doses of Berbevis and chromium picolinate, combining an effective daily dose of 550 mg berberine phytosome and 200 mcg chromium picolinate chelate. Berbevis Berberine Phytosome is sourced from a 50:1 root extract, standardized to 28-34% berberine, and is gently extracted using water. The phytosome formulation is gut-friendly, and the addition of grape seed extract helps to protect the intestinal epithelium from irritation.*

Plants from the Berberis genus, particularly Berberis aristata, have gained attention for their potential to support metabolic balance. Mechanisms of action may include reducing the rate at which carbohydrates are broken down in the digestive system. Chromium picolinate works in synergy with berberine to achieve metabolic balance.*

Research into berberine suggests that most of its benefits are from acting on controllers of energy usage in the body, including activating the enzyme adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of cellular energy metabolism. Chromium also plays a role in normal macronutrient metabolism, influencing how the body stores and uses fat for energy.*

Berberine supports normal GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) secretion from L-cells in the gut by activating AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). This contributes to healthy metabolic balance after meals. Berberine also supports normal GLP-1 receptor sensitivity, allowing the body to respond to naturally produced GLP-1. Finally, berberine inhibits DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), an enzyme which breaks down berberine, to support healthy GLP-1 levels and activity.*
