Berberine has been gaining popularity in recent years for its potential to support metabolic health – particularly healthy blood sugar metabolism – and various aspects of healthy aging. However, berberine is poorly absorbed with low bioavailability in the bloodstream, so emerging ingredients are addressing this challenge.
In this follow-up to episode 25’s deep-dive into the novel GlucoVantage berberine, Carl addresses listener comments regarding another ingredient which uses a delivery technology called a phytosome to increase berberine bioavailability in the blood.
Carl unpacks the findings of recent studies with the berberine formulations and their impact on blood levels of berberine. You’ll see how the headline claim made by marketers doesn’t always match the reality of the product being sold – a common problem with popular supplement ingredients.
Tune in to learn what the data really says about GlucoVantage and the berberine phytosome, and how to get the most from a berberine supplement.
