Berberines have a history of use in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine dating back at least 3,000 years and became a favourite of the ‘Eclectics’ in the 1830’s.

Berberines decrease insulin resistance, making the blood sugar lowering hormone insulin more effective; increases glycolysis, helping the body break down sugars inside cells; decreases sugar production in the liver; slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut; modulate gut microbiota to increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut; reduces intestinal absorption of glucose, and regulates lipid metabolism.

Berberine activates an enzyme inside cells called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This enzyme is sometimes referred to as a “metabolic mas- ter switch”. It is found in the cells of various organs, including the brain, muscle, kidney, heart and liver. This enzyme plays a major role in regulating metabo- lism. Berberine also affects various other molecules inside cells, and may even affect which genes are
turned on or off.
