What is Berberine?

Berberine helps control glucose, lipids, and abdominal circumference, with fewer side effects than metformin, while silymarin protects the liver and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Longevitas Labs' Berberine with Silymarin supplement provides 500 mg of berberine and 100 mg of silymarin per capsule, with two capsules taken daily to support liver function, control glucose and triglycerides, and regulate blood pressure.

Berberine is an alkaloid compound found in plants of the Berberis family. For thousands of years, it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for its antimicrobial properties and to treat various gastrointestinal problems, such as diarrhea associated with infectious diseases. While it has been used for millennia, it is only in the last 20-30 years that studies and research related to berberine have increased significantly. This surge in research interest stems from evidence that berberine can help control blood glucose levels, potentially contributing to the treatment of type 2 diabetes in its early stages or to its prevention. The advantage of berberine over metformin for this preventive treatment or in the early stages of the disease is that berberine's side effects are much fewer than those of metformin, especially those related to gastrointestinal health (diarrhea, vomiting, gas, etc.). For therapeutic use of berberine in relation to the prevention of type 2 diabetes, it is recommended that the treatment be supervised and prescribed by a physician and that regular blood tests be performed. Several studies have demonstrated berberine's ability to control blood lipid levels, and berberine has been recommended in some treatments, in conjunction with monacolin K from red yeast rice, to reduce cholesterol levels. There are also studies investigating berberine's effect on reducing body mass index and, in particular, waist circumference. In any case, treatment should always be accompanied by improved habits related to diet and exercise. What is silymarin? Silymarin is the active ingredient in milk thistle. It helps protect the liver by promoting the growth of liver cells. Milk thistle is currently the subject of numerous research studies related to various health fields. Since 2013, the Catalan Institute of Oncology has been conducting research on milk thistle, demonstrating, first in vitro and subsequently with cancer patients, that substances extracted from milk thistle (sibilinin) help to slow metastasis. This study was later expanded by an international team led by the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), confirming the preliminary results. Returning to silymarin, in addition to its benefits related to liver health, it is also notable for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
