Natural Factors WellBetX Berberine 500 mg
If you’re working on maintaining your blood sugar or cholesterol levels, you need to know about an enzyme called AMPK – your body’s metabolic master switch. When this switch is activated, you supercharge your body’s ability to metabolize blood sugar and cholesterol. How can you “turn on” this switch? One way is with berberine, a plant alkaloid found in goldenseal and Oregon grape root.
Our berberine is sustainably sourced from barberry and provides a clinically studied amount of 500 mg per vegetarian capsule, so you reap all the berberine benefits.
Benefits
- Supports blood sugar balance
- Helps support healthy cholesterol levels
- Helps maintain cardiovascular health
Feature Summary
Blood glucose (sugar) management is a key part of maintaining a healthy body, yet millions of Canadians struggle with ailments related to poorly controlled blood sugar and insulin levels. The unique ways in which WellBetX Berberine acts on the body makes it a useful natural option for improving blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels.
Berberine is a naturally occurring compound extracted from the roots of various plants, including barberry, goldenseal, and Oregon grape, and is likely responsible for the beneficial effects of traditional tonics made from these plants. Modern evidence shows berberine works to restore the insulin sensitivity needed to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and promotes cardiovascular health by helping to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol in people with poorly controlled blood sugar.
Every vegetarian capsule provides 500 mg of pure berberine, the same concentration used successfully in clinical trials to enhance insulin sensitivity and prompt a hypoglycemic effect that supports weight management. By lowering blood sugar berberine minimizes the body’s production of insulin, the fat-storing hormone.
All WellBetX products are made with the highest quality ingredients. They provide essential nutritional support designed to balance blood sugar and promote cardiovascular health when paired with a nutritious diet and physical activity.
