The TrueBerberine+ Difference

To age well, we need to minimize fluctuations in blood sugar from meals – as well as maintain healthy fasting blood sugar levels.

Acting like a “traffic cop”, the InSea2® brown seaweed extract helps slow down the rate that glucose from starch and sugar enters the bloodstream, so your body doesn’t get overwhelmed at once. This helps to blunt the post-meal blood sugar increase.

InSea2® is the only natural ingredient with an action on the two digestive enzymes that transform dietary carbohydrates into glucose. This is how it helps your body distribute glucose to cells (where it can be used for energy) in a more orderly manner – and help reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.

InSea2® has been the subject of 8 scientific studies on glycemic health – and offers benefits from the first serving. Longer term, consistent InSea2® use helps support blood sugar, weight management and metabolic health. 

Berberine can help support blood sugar and metabolic health in several ways. The challenge with taking berberine as a supplement is that it’s not easily digestible and very little gets absorbed into the bloodstream.

This means you must take a lot of to get desired effects – so often it’s suggested you take 1,000mg to 1,500mg each day. In addition to not being cost effective, taking these large amounts causes gastrointestinal distress in some users. GlucoVantage® can help overcome this challenge because it’s already in the more digestion friendly “dihydroberberine” form and changes back to the berberine form as it enters the bloodstream.

In initial testing, just 100mg of GlucoVantage® was found to be far superior at increasing the amount of berberine in the bloodstream compared to the standard 500mg serving of regular berberine (200mg of GlucoVantage® was found to be even better).

The trace mineral chromium is best known for supporting healthy blood sugar by helping your body move glucose from the bloodstream and into cells. Chromium can also help you maintain lean muscle and concentrate more of weight loss in fat loss (instead of muscle loss), which is preferred.

Crominex® 3+ is a superior form of chromium for supplements because it helps shield chromium from harmful oxidation risk.  This results in greater potency and enhanced absorption.

Crominex® 3+ wraps the nutritional form of chromium, called chromium 3+, in a protective “bubble” made up of two powerful antioxidants: Capros® – a natural extract from amla berry, and a purified mineral complex from the Himalayan mountains called Primavie®.  This shields the chromium 3+ from being oxidized into the undesirable chromium 6+ form.

Made with Clean, Scientifically
Validated Ingredients

InSea2® is an exclusive blend of two wildcrafted brown seaweeds - Ascophyllum nodosum (kelp) and Fucus vesiculosus (bladder wrack). These seaweeds were chosen because they’re naturally rich in specific polyphenols that help slow down starch and sugar digestion.

InSea2® is a USDA certified organic ingredient that meets the highest criteria in terms of quality, purity and biological activity.

The way InSea2® works is by slowing down the activity of two digestive enzymes responsible for breaking down starch and sugar into glucose. These enzymes are alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase.  This immediately helps smooth out the increase in post-meal blood sugar when you eat carbohydrates, and promotes healthy blood sugar metabolism over time.  

InSea2® has been the subject of 8 published research studies. Some of the ways it may help you include:

  • Helps reduce the post-meal spike in blood sugar from starch and sugar.
  • Helps maintain already-heathy fasting blood sugar levels.
  • Helps support weight management goals.
  • Helps support metabolic health and healthy aging.
  • Helps maintain mental acuity and focus after meals. 

Berberine gets absorbed into the bloodstream at a very slow rate after you ingest it (typically less than 1% is absorbed). To help increase absorption, your body converts some of the berberine to dihyrdroberberine in the gut so it can be more easily absorbed through the intestines.

Once in intestinal tissues, the dihyrdroberberine is converted back to berberine and enters the bloodstream.  This process has two major drawbacks: 1) It requires you take large amounts of berberine to get a sufficient amount into the bloodstream and 2) It can cause gastrointestinal distress. 

GlucoVantage® addresses this challenge by giving you berberine already in the dihydorberberine form our bodies find easier to absorb.  As a result, with GlucoVantage®, you can get desired support with a smaller dosage amount that is also gentler on the stomach.

In fact, initial testing found that just 100mg of GlucoVantage® was far superior at increasing the amount of berberine in the bloodstream than the standard 500mg serving of regular berberine (200mg of GlucoVantage® was found to be even better). 

Sourced from the berberis aristate plant, GlucoVantage® is made using a special process that converts the natural berberine to active dihydroberberine.  Here are some of the ways berberine in TrueBerberine+ may help you:

 

  • Helps maintain already-healthy blood sugar levels by supporting the uptake of glucose to cells and the role of insulin in the body. 
  • Helps support body composition by activating the AMPK enzyme, which preferentially drives carbohydrates to muscle rather than fat.
  • Helps support healthy aging by helping to protect against the formation of glycation end-products (AGEs) linked to biological aging.
  • Ketogenic friendly- helps promote plasma BHB (ketones). 
  • Helps support heart and cardiovascular health.

Elemental chromium exists in two basic forms. One is called chromium 3+, (trivalent chromium) which is the essential nutrient you need and is found in foods like grains and vegetables.

The other is the oxidized form called chromium 6+ (hexavalent chromium), which has no nutritional value and can be harmful.  When chromium 3+ gets oxidized, it transforms into the unwanted chromium 6+ form.

Crominex® 3+ wraps the nutritional chromium 3+ in a protective “bubble” made up of two powerful antioxidants: Capros® – a natural extract from amla berry, and a purified mineral complex from the Himalayan mountains called Primavie®.

This shields the chromium 3+ from being oxidized into the undesirable chromium 6+ form and results in superior potency. In addition, in a head-to-head study, Crominex 3+ was found to be better absorbed and more bioavailable than some other common forms of chromium used in supplements.

Here are some of the ways Crominex® 3+ may help you: 

  • Helps support the transport of glucose from the bloodstream to cell and tissues where it can be used for energy. 
  • Helps maintain already-healthy blood sugar levels.
  • Helps support weight management by helping to preserve lean muscle and concentrate more of weight loss in desired fat loss. 
  • Helps support cardiovascular health by helping to maintain already-healthy cholesterol and hsCRP (C-reactive protein) levels and supporting nitric oxide production.
  • Helps reduce oxidative stress and support the antioxidant defense system.

FAQ from
NatureCity Customers

You could still benefit from the Glucovantage® and Crominex® 3+ chromium ingredients, but the InSea2® will not help you because it works by slowing the digestion of starch and sugar in meals, so it needs to be in the stomach at the time you eat.

To get the full benefits of TrueBerberine+, it’s recommended you take the product 15 to 30 minutes before eating (or as close to that as possible). 

The InSea2 ingredient, which is from organic brown seaweed does naturally contain iodine.  Each serving contains about 75mcg of iodine from the seaweeds.

No upper limits have been established for chromium intake by the Institute of Medicine. In research with individuals taking 1,000mcg for an extended period of time, no unwanted effects have been observed.

As a guideline, we would advise to not exceed 1,000mcg daily, but also recommend you consult with your healthcare provider to address any concerns specific to you.

Also, it’s important that the chromium you take is still in the nutritional chromium 3+  form when you take it, not the oxidized chromium 6+ form (which can be harmful).

One of the important features of the Crominex 3+ source of chromium in TrueBerberine+ is it’s protected by antioxidants to ensure chromium remains in the beneficial chromium 3+ form.
