Explore the formula

High absorption berberine phytosome

To overcome the poor bioavailability of standard berberine, we use Berbevis Berberine Phytosome. The phytosome delivery system contains a food-grade matrix with lecithin and pea protein to enhance solubility. This optimises absorption of berberine by 10 times. To further enhance bioavailability, this formula also contains polyphenols, from grape seed extract. The polyphenols can prevent berberine from travelling back into the intestines after absorption.

Dual action with chromium

Berberine phytosome and chromium picolinate have complementary mechanisms of action, for increased benefits. We use chelated trivalent chromium picolinate, a highly stable compound. The addition of chromium to this dual-action formula contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.

Clinically researched doses & gut friendly

We use clinically researched doses of Berbevis and chromium picolinate, combining an effective daily dose of 550 mg berberine phytosome and 200 mcg chromium picolinate chelate. Berbevis Berberine Phytosome is sourced from a 50:1 root extract, standardised to 28-34% berberine, and is gently extracted using water. The phytosome formulation is gut friendly, and the addition of grape seed extract helps to protect the intestinal epithelium from irritation.

What to expect

Magnesium and L-theanine build steadily — here's a realistic timeline of how your family may notice the difference.

What you may notice

Don’t expect an overnight change - berberine provides targeted metabolic support, with benefits developing gradually with consistent use over several weeks.

With consistent use

Weight changes, if they occur, are likely to be gradual - when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, berberine may support healthy weight management, but it isn’t a quick-fix weight-loss supplement. Research suggests effects on body weight tend to be modest and become more apparent with longer-term use.

Good to know

You may notice steadier energy and appetite - by supporting healthy glucose metabolism, some people may notice changes in how they feel between meals, although individual responses will vary.

Blood glucose support

Plants from the Berberis genus, particularly Berberis aristata, have gained attention for their potential to support blood glucose levels. Mechanisms of actions may include reducing the rate at which carbohydrates are broken down in the digestive system, and suppressing an overproduction of glucose in the liver. Chromium picolinate also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels by enhancing the action of insulin.

Regulate metabolism

Research into berberine suggests that most of its benefits are from acting on controllers of energy usage in the body, including activating the enzyme adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of cellular energy metabolism. Chromium also contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, including glucose and fat metabolism. By supporting insulin sensitivity, chromium may help the body store fat more efficiently, and help break down fat for energy.

Improve insulin sensitivity

One of the primary ways berberine may help with blood glucose support is by improving insulin sensitivity. In people with insulin resistance, cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. Berberine may help to overcome this by activating the PKC enzyme, which can increase the number of insulin receptors on cell membranes. Chromium may also help by enhancing the effect of insulin, allowing cells to take up glucose more efficiently.

FAQs

When and how you notice the effects of Berberine Phytosome & Chromium can vary depending on your individual health goals. While some people may notice changes in energy or digestion relatively quickly, it generally takes around 4 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use to notice improvements in HbA1c and cholesterol. Our formula uses Berbevis® Phytosome technology, which is absorbed 10x better than standard berberine, helping you reach effective levels more efficiently.

Berberine Phytosome & Chromium should ideally be taken before a meal. Our formula includes grape seed extract to help make it gentle on the stomach and minimise the gut irritation often associated with standard berberine.

This supplement can generally be taken with other supplements; however, please seek professional medical advice before taking it alongside medications, especially those for blood glucose or cardiovascular health, as berberine can interact with certain drugs.
