What I have posted here was prior to DiHydroBerberine, as you read thru this keep in mind that a 4-5 fold concentrated form of berberine ( Bio3C) with no side effects, is what you are introducing to people.
Berberine to the Rescue
Of all the supplements enlisted in the war against inflammation, berberine, a plant alkaloid, is one of the most effective. Per hindawi.com, it is a natural compound extracted from plants such as Coptis chinensis and Hydrastis canadensis, and it has numerous pharmacological properties. Abbreviated as “BBR” in medical journals, berberine has been shown in recent studies to have “antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, which contributed in part to its efficacy against diabetes mellitus (diabetes),” as stated by hindawi.com.
Diabetes has been identified as an inflammatory disease. BBR’s increased use in modifying sugar and lipid metabolism for the better has been shown in numerous experimental and clinical studies. Not only has berberine’s effectiveness in lowering glucose levels been compared favorably with pharmaceutical drugs such as metformin and rosiglitazone, its mechanisms also have proven beneficial in restoring insulin insensitivity. One more diabetes-related praise for BBR – its low toxicity makes it accessible and safe for diabetics also suffering from chronic hepatitis.
With its renowned anti-inflammatory capabilities, berberine also is an effective supporter of lung health, able to diminish the effect of smoke-induced acute lung inflammation from ci******es, per draxe.com. One study that was cited in “Inflammation,” a journal, reported that that berberine had a profound effect in lessening lung inflammation as measured with mice that were exposed to enough cigarette smoke to cause acute lung injury.
Berberine is a good supplement to have around for myriad reasons. It also has been proven effective protecting/fighting against other unwanted health conditions such as gastrointestinal infections, heart disease, joint problems, high cholesterol, hypertension, and low bone density.
