GymBeam Berberine, 60 capsules

Berberine is a herbal supplement that contains an extract from the root of the Indian barberry (Berberis aristata) with 97% berberine content. This bioactive substance (alkaloid) is most often used by people who take maximum care of the function of carbohydrate metabolism, especially blood sugar glucose. According to current knowledge, one of the mechanisms of action of berberine is the activation of the enzyme adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which has an effect on the breakdown of the storage sugar glycogen into the simple sugar glucose. This can then be used for movement and other body functions. Carbohydrate metabolism is then linked to optimal tissue sensitivity to the hormone insulin, which is involved in the regulation of blood sugar (glycaemia) and is also one of the main anabolic hormones in the body.
