Preferred Nutrition Berberine 500 mg 120 Veg Capsules

Preferred Nutrition Berberine 500 mg 120 Veg Capsules:

Helps maintain healthy glucose metabloism and cardiovascular health.

A placebo-controlled study provided the first evidence that berberine is a valuable supplement for diabetes and cardiovascular health. Berberine was shown to lower blood glucose, HbA1c (the best measure of long term blood sugar and diabetes control), triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol significantly better than a placebo in people with type 2 diabetes.

When type 2 diabetics were given either berberine or the anti-diabetes agent, the berberine was equally effective for blood glucose, HbA1c and glucose regulating hormone. Berberine had an advantage over the anti-diabetes treatment, though, because it also lowered cholesterol and triglycerides. The study also found that adding the same dose of berberine to the treatment of people whose type 2 diabetes was not being adequately managed by drugs significantly lowered blood glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, total
cholesterol and the harmful LDL cholesterol.

A third study compared berberine to two anti-diabetes products. Berberine’s effectiveness was similar to the drugs. It significantly lowered fasting blood glucose levels, glucose regulating hormone, triglycerides and HbA1c in type 2 diabetics. In vitro, berberine increased the number and responsiveness of glucose regulating hormone receptor cells.

A meta-analysis of 27 controlled studies found that berberine was as effective as anti-diabetes treatments, equal to agents for lowering total and LDL cholesterol and superior to drugs for lowering triglycerides and raising the heart healthy HDL cholesterol. It also found that berberine is superior to placebo for high blood pressure.

Berberine has also been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of arrhythmias and heart failure. Adding berberine to conventional treatment of congestive heart failure has been shown to significantly improve the results and significantly lower the number of deaths.
