Enzymedica | Berberine Phytosome

A patented berberine complex that supports blood sugar balance and overall metabolic health. Berbevis® phytosome is an innovative delivery system comprised of raw Barberry extract standardised to 28-34% berberine, plus Grape Seed extract to protect the intestinal lining for greater tolerability. Berbevis® has been shown to boost absorption of berberine by 9.6x compared with standard raw extracts.

What is Berberine?
Berberine is an alkaloid found in many plants, most notably
Barberry, Goldenseal, Oregon Grape and Coptis. It has a rich
history of use in traditional herbalism, especially to boost blood
sugar metabolism, promote healthy weight loss, as well as
treating digestive disorders. Enzymedica®’s Berberine Phytosome
is sustainably sourced from the roots of Berberis aristata, commonly
called Indian Barberry. It grows abundantly, is naturally sustainable
and rich in valuable phytochemicals.
Studies have recently focused on the lipid-lowering and glucose
regulating potential of Barberry. Significant decreases in blood
glucose, insulin, lipids, LDL and total cholesterol have been found
in type 2 diabetic patients after treatment with berberine – at 1,
2, and 3 month intervals. Its lipid-lowering effects could decrease
the deposition of atherosclerotic plaques, which are implicated in
heart disease. To support its long-standing use as an antimicrobial,
research has found berberine inhibits the growth of cultured
bacterial samples of E. Coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella,
Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and β- Streptococci.

Why is Berbevis® Berberine Phytosome better?
Berbevis® Berberine Phytosome features an ultra-absorption
phytosome technology clinically shown to promote greater
bioavailablity and utilisation of berberine’s beneficial compounds.
A human pharmokinetic study found it boosted bioabsorption by 9.6x
compared with standard raw extracts. This unlocks greater potency
at a lower dose, allowing for a small, easy-to-swallow capsule. The
Berbevis® phytosome is an innovative delivery system comprised of
raw Barberry extract standardised to contain 28-34% berberine; Pea
protein which functions as a carrier to support absorption; plus Grape
Seed extract to protect the intestinal lining for greater tolerability.
The resulting formula helps to keep metabolism in balance, naturally.
