Applied Nutrition Berberine
What is Berberine? Berberine has been used medicinally for thousands of years due to its overall health and heart benefits. This natural plant extract has been shown to positively impact blood sugar levels, balance blood pressure, support healthy weight loss and promotes a healthier heart! Blood Sugar levels - Early research shows that the alkaloids from Berberine can help to improve insulin resistance while changing how your cells use glucose. Consumption of Berberine must also be combined with a healthy lifestyle and dietary changes to maximise the effects. Weight loss – Studies have shown that taking Berberine over the course of three months results in significant weight loss with people who have a BMI over 30. This may be due to how Berberine helps control insulin and how it appears to inhibit the growth of fat cells at the molecular level. Healthier Heart - According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes approximately 32% of all deaths globally. Studies have shown that people who took berberine for 8 x weeks had better heart function and were more able to exercise than those who took a placebo. Other studies suggest that when Berberine is combined with standard medicines for heart failure, it can improve heart function and quality of life.
