Berberine is a natural compound found in plants like barberry and goldenseal that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries.
It works by activating something called AMPK - think of it as your body's "metabolic master switch."

Alpha-lipoic acid enhances berberine's effectiveness and provides additional benefits. It's a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage and supports your body's energy production.
When combined with berberine, alpha-lipoic acid helps improve the overall metabolic benefits while providing extra support for nerve health and cellular function.

Berberine is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach.
That's why it's important to always take it with food. Start with the recommended one capsule daily to see how your body responds.
If you're taking medications for blood sugar or have diabetes, consult your healthcare provider first, as berberine can enhance the effects of blood sugar medications.
