Berberine Root Extract
Berberis aristata
Berberine is a bioactive alkaloid found in plants such as Berberis aristata (tree turmeric). Traditionally used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, it has become one of the most studied natural compounds for supporting healthy glucose metabolism.
Berberine works by activating AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), a key metabolic regulator, improving insulin sensitivity, and lowering postprandial glucose.
Why We Use it
We included berberine because it is one of the most clinically validated botanicals for blood sugar support.
Its ability to rival pharmaceutical interventions in efficacy makes it the cornerstone of Optimolin.
