DIHYDROBERBERINE SR

A highly bioavailable form of a naturally-occurring compound that occurs in numerous medicinal plants. These plants have a 3,000-year history of use in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine to support overall health, including digestive health. But we’ve optimized absorption by making it sustained-release, meaning that you’ll get the benefits of dihydroberberine over the course of 5-7 hours.*

Adults looking to keep blood sugar levels in check and support healthy cholesterol and fat metabolism.*

As a dietary supplement for adults, take one (1) tablet, twice daily with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Dihydroberberine supports overall cardiovascular health and healthy blood vessel function. Its high bioavailability means a lower effective amount is needed, which helps eliminate the digestive upset that can occur with regular berberine.*

Dihydroberberine is a highly-bioavailable form of a powerful antioxidant called berberine.(1)  Sustained-release tablet delivery helps enhance the absorption of dihydroberberine over the course of 5-7 hours. Emerging laboratory research suggests that dihydroberberine may promote glucose balance, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular health by activating a key biochemical pathway called the activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, which plays a major role in glucose balance by modulating transport into peripheral tissues.(2,3) Emerging research also suggests dihydroberberine may even help support weight loss efforts.(4)†
