Patient One Berberine is a botanical compound found in plants including barberry, goldenseal, Oregon grape, and tree turmeric. Used in Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years, berberine’s diverse benets and mechanisms of action are also supported in modern research. Its primary mechanism is its ability to activate the enzyme Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) while inhibiting Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B).
Clinical evidence shows that Berberine may help to support and promote glucose and lipid metabolism and offer support for weight management. Berberine may also help to protect the
gastrointestinal system from unwanted bacteria. Further, it promotes cellular antioxidant defense and supports a healthy inflammatory response.
Patient One Berberine supplies 500 mg berberine HCl per capsule, the dosage used in clinical trials for glucose and lipid control.
