Berberine

1 g · as Berberine HCl

Structure / Function

A natural compound from plants like goldenseal and barberry. It does two things. It helps keep blood sugar and cholesterol steady when they are already in a normal range. And it helps keep the bacteria in your gut in a healthy mix.

Berberine does two separate jobs. First, it flips on your cells' built-in energy switch, which scientists call AMPKYour cells' built-in energy switch: flip it on and cells burn sugar and fat for fuel instead of storing them.. That switch tells your cells to pull sugar and fat out of your blood and burn them for fuel instead of storing them. That is what keeps blood sugar and cholesterol steady in a normal range. Second, and separately, berberine works right on the bacteria in your gut, your microbiomeThe community of trillions of bacteria in your gut that help with digestion and immune balance., nudging the mix toward a healthier balance.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

200 mg · an antioxidant your body also makes on its own

Structure / Function

It protects your cells from everyday wear (the damage from free radicals) and helps them turn food into energy. It also helps recharge other antioxidants, like vitamins C and E.

First, what is an antioxidantA protector molecule. It steps in and defuses the unstable particles that would otherwise wear your cells down.? Just by living, plus stress and pollution, your body makes unstable bits called free radicalsUnstable particles your body makes just from normal living (plus stress and pollution) that slowly damage cells over time, a bit like rust on metal.. They slowly wear your cells down, a bit like rust on metal. An antioxidant steps in and defuses them. ALA is an unusual one. It dissolves in both water and fat, so it reaches parts of a cell most antioxidants cannot. And once it is spent, it re-charges your other antioxidants, like vitamins C and E, so they can keep working.

How do I take Berberine CM?

The right amount is different for each person. Your practitioner will set the dose and the schedule that suits you. Take it exactly as they direct, with a meal.

My child can't swallow capsules — can I open it?

Yes. You can open the capsule and stir the contents into a little food or juice. For children, use Berberine CM only with guidance from your healthcare practitioner.

Should I start at the full amount?

Usually not. With berberine it is common to start low and build up slowly. The pace is different for each person, so follow what your practitioner directs as they see how your body responds.

When's the best time to take it?

With a meal. Taking it alongside food is gentler on the stomach.

Can I take it with my other supplements or medication?

Berberine is often paired with a daily probiotic. It can also interact with some medicines. Check with your practitioner before combining it with anything. We are glad to help you start that conversation.

What if it doesn't agree with me?

Everyone's different, and some people do best at a lower amount. If it doesn't sit well, ease back or pause, and talk to your guide about the right amount for you.
