Berberine has become a popular supplement for lowering blood glucose levels, lipids, and weight. There are a lot of studies demonstrating that berberine is the real deal when it comes to an A-list supplement. I have written about berberine in the past and have videos about it, which you can access in my Health Breakthroughs section at markstengler.com

One of the key things about berberine that most people do not know is that it has very low absorption rates. A study in the journal Nutrients reports that berberine bioavailability is less than 1%. One form of berberine shown in studies to have improved bioavailability is Berberine Phytosome®, also known as Berbevis®. This form of berberine utilizes a lipid phytosome matrix to enhance intestinal absorption. A study published in Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine showed that blood levels of Berberine Phytosome in healthy participants were approximately ten times higher than regular berberine when equivalent doses were consumed orally.  Stengler Products is one of the few brands that carry this effective form of berberine that is produced in Italy.
