Traditionally used for gastrointestinal symptoms, berberine has emerged as a potent cardiometabolic aid with diverse benefits and mechanisms of action. It has hypoglycemic effects, via both an inhibition of alpha-glucosidase activity and an upregulation of insulin receptors in peripheral tissues, thereby improving insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, it activates Nrf2, a key regulator of cellular antioxidant defense, and attenuates glucose induced neurotoxicity, suggesting a therapeutic potential for diabetic neuropathy.
Unique Features: Hypoglycemic effects via multiple mechanisms, including enhancement of insulin sensitivity.
Favorable effects on blood lipids, including a reduction in triglycerides, and both total and LDL cholesterol.
Activates Nrf-2, a key regulator of antioxidant gene transcription and prevention of glucose-induced neurotoxicity.
