Supporting Metabolic Function
Metabolic wellness is a core element of vitality and longevity. Managing blood glucose levels is getting more challenging especially with insulin resistance on the rise.
Optimal metabolic function needs support for fluctuating blood glucose levels and compromised lipid metabolism – two frequent issues.
Berberine, derived from traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal practices, has long been known and used to support metabolic function. But it’s the metabolite dihydroberberine (DHB) that takes the spotlight in this formula: DHB offers enhanced bioavailability over traditional berberine, making it more effective at supporting healthy blood glucose metabolism.
The role of Dihydroberberine for Metabolic Function
Berberine has been one of the most popular supplements with biohackers and anti-aging physicians – it stimulates glucose uptake, suppresses lipogenesis, and enhances insulin sensitivity.
Through a multi-pathway approach involving AMPK, JNK, and PPAR-alpha pathways, DHB modulates glucose, enhances lipid metabolism, and supports a healthy gut microbiome.
Berberine has a direct influence on the gut microbiome, leading to improvements in glucose and lipid metabolism.
But that’s not all. DHB also regulates pancreatic beta cell function and inhibits glucose formation from carbohydrate digestion, further supporting healthy blood sugar levels. And because DHB is more absorbable than traditional berberine, it requires lower doses to achieve the same beneficial effects.
