Why Berberine on holiday?
You know how it is: you go out for dinner, have pizza, pasta, maybe an ice cream afterward. Afterwards, you feel lethargic or tired, and sometimes that infamous after-dinner crash follows.
This is caused by a spike in your blood sugar, followed by a dip.
How does Berberine help?
-
Slows down the absorption of carbohydrates
-
Stimulates AMPK, your “cellular energy regulator”
-
Reduces fat storage when overeating
-
Ensures fewer fluctuations in energy
Simple explanation:
Carbohydrates → glucose spikes → fat storage.
Berberine subtly slows down that process, so you gain less weight and stay more energetic.
Also interesting for type 2 diabetes
Several studies show that Berberine is effective in people with type 2 diabetes. In some cases, it works similarly to metformin, without the side effects of synthetic medications.
Important:
-
Do you have diabetes and are you taking medication? Always consult your doctor.
-
Berberine may enhance the effect of blood sugar lowering medications.
